The act of devouring or consuming greedily, though this is an archaic or rare usage.
From Latin 'devorare' (de- 'completely' + vorare 'to eat'), with the suffix -tion added to create a noun. The root 'vorare' also appears in 'voracious' (greedy for food).
The Latin root 'vorare' gave us 'voracious,' 'devour,' and 'omnivore'—all capturing that image of something being completely consumed, often with intense appetite.
