Gormandism

/ˈɡɔːrmænˌdɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The practice or habit of eating greedily and excessively; the lifestyle or philosophy of a glutton.

Etymology

From 'gormand' plus the suffix '-ism,' which denotes a system, practice, or philosophy. Reflects the systematic indulgence in excessive eating.

Kelly Says

'Gormandism' as a '-ism' word suggests an entire lifestyle philosophy—like how 'vegetarianism' describes a whole approach to food, but gormandism describes the opposite attitude!
