Meaning of "nectar" in English

In English, "nectar" refers to a sweet liquid produced by flowers. This liquid is typically collected by bees and serves as the raw material for honey production. Often considered a precious substance, nectar is also metaphorically used to describe any delightful and tasty liquid, such as a juice or drink that is particularly pleasing to the senses. The term originates from Greek mythology, where it was used to denote the drink of the gods that conferred immortality upon those who consumed it.
