Sweet liquid; darling (5)
I believe the answer is:
honey
I believe this is a double definition.
'sweet liquid' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'darling' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for honey that I've seen before include "Sweet term of endearment" , "Treasure" , "Sweet food" , "Hive fluid" , "Darling; hive product" .)
