    • groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'In the Sanskrit Indian language, these crystals were called khanda (Devanagari: खण्ड, Khaṇḍa), which is the source of the word candy.' The passage explicitly establishes that khanda is the source of the word candy, exactly as the claim asserts.
    • qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage itself makes this claim). The stance is appropriately 'asserts' as the passage presents this as fact. The sentiment is neutral, matching the passage's tone. The time qualifiers are correctly null as the passage provides no specific date for this etymological derivation. The context 'Sanskrit' is appropriate as the passage specifically states 'In the Sanskrit Indian language, these crystals were called khanda.' The quote is verbatim and directly supports the claim about khanda being the source of the word candy.
