To eat greedily or excessively; to indulge in gluttony or overindulgence in food.
From Old French 'gourmand' (glutton) plus the '-ize' suffix. The American spelling variant of the British 'gormandise,' reflecting transatlantic spelling conventions.
This verb perfectly captures the idea of eating not just to survive but to excess—it's the action verb that transforms a description into a behavior pattern!
