Plural of gluttony; multiple instances or manifestations of excessive eating or indulgence.
From Old French 'glotonie,' from Latin 'gluttio' (glutton), plus the plural suffix '-ies.' Gluttony was one of the seven deadly sins in Christian tradition, giving the word moral weight.
Gluttony is the only sin named after an *action* (eating too much) rather than a vice or emotion—Christianity considered uncontrolled appetite so dangerous that they made the behavior itself sinful, not just the desire.
