Plural of devourer; multiple people or things that consume greedily or destroy rapidly.
Simple plural of 'devourer' formed by adding '-s'. Each 'devourer' in the plural maintains the same Latin-based root 'devorare' (to swallow down).
In early English poetry, especially medieval texts, 'devourers' appears in vivid metaphorical language—'the devourers of the night,' 'the devourers of fortune'—creating these almost mystical destructive forces through a simple plural.
