Creophagist

/ˌkriːˈɑfədʒɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who eats meat, especially raw or fresh meat, or someone who advocates for meat-eating.

Etymology

From Greek 'kreo' (meat) and 'phagein' (to eat) plus '-ist' (one who practices). It's parallel to 'vegetarian' but for meat-eaters.

Kelly Says

A creophagist is literally the opposite of a vegetarian—but the term is so formal it's rarely used; instead, people just say 'carnivore' or 'meat-eater' in everyday speech!
