Excessive eating or gluttony; an abnormal or insatiable appetite for food, often considered a vice or character flaw.
From Greek 'gastro-' (stomach) and 'margia' (excess or craving), related to 'margos' (margin/excess). The term appeared in medieval religious and moral literature.
Medieval monks had a whole vocabulary for sins—'gastrimargy' was gluttony considered so serious it warranted its own fancy Greek name, showing how morality gets dressed up in technical language!
