2. Fruit juice especially when undiluted.
Sugary liquid secreted by some plants from a nectary, a specialized gland usually situated near the base of the flower. Nectar often accumulates in special pouches or spurs, not always in the same location as the nectary. Nectar attracts insects, birds, bats, and other animals to the flower for pollination and is the raw material used by bees in the production of honey.
