Creatophagous

/kriːətˈɒfəɡəs/ adjective

Definition

Feeding on flesh or meat; carnivorous (a rare technical term).

Etymology

From Greek kreato- (from kreos 'meat') plus -phagous (from phagein 'to eat'). This is a specialized zoological term formed by combining Greek morphemes following Linnaean naming conventions.

Kelly Says

This word is so specialized that most dictionaries don't even include it—it's a ghost word created by the rigid Greek-combining rules scientists use, proving that scientific terminology can generate thousands of theoretical words whether anyone actually uses them or not.
