British present participle: eating or acting greedily; the act of behaving gluttonously.
Present participle of British 'gluttonise,' formed by adding '-ing' to the verb stem. This maintains the '-ise' spelling even in the progressive form.
English's '-ing' form is one of its most flexible features—it works as a noun (gerund), adjective, and verb form simultaneously, which is why 'eating' can mean 'the act of consuming food' or describe an ongoing action.
