British spelling: to eat or act greedily; to behave like a glutton.
From 'glutton' plus the verb-forming suffix '-ise' (British spelling), derived from Greek '-izein.' The American spelling uses '-ize,' reflecting the original Greek root more directly.
British and American English diverged on '-ise/-ize' spelling around the 18th century: Britain chose French-influenced '-ise' while America kept the older Greek '-ize' form—it's literally a 250-year-old spelling argument still raging.
