Gluttery

/ˈɡlʌtəri/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or relating to gluttonous eating; full of gurgling or gulping sounds.

Etymology

Derived from 'glutter' with the suffix '-y' (Old English '-ig'), creating an adjective meaning 'having the quality of.' This follows the standard English pattern of converting verbs to descriptive adjectives.

Kelly Says

The '-y' suffix is one of English's most productive tools—it's how we turn almost any noun or verb into an adjective, which is why English can describe countless qualities without inventing entirely new words.
