Voraciousness; the quality of being inclined to eat greedily or to consume things excessively.
From Latin edacitas, derived from edax (eating, devouring) from edere (to eat). This Latin term has been used since Roman times to describe excessive appetite or hunger.
Medieval philosophers actually debated 'edacity' as one of the deadly sins related to gluttony, giving this obscure word deep roots in Western moral philosophy and literature!
