Characterized by or full of greed; very greedy or avaricious (archaic or rare usage).
From the noun 'greed' combined with the suffix '-some,' which means 'full of' or 'characterized by,' similar to words like 'awesome' and 'wholesome.'
The '-some' suffix is dying out in English—we used to say 'greedsome,' 'fulsome,' and 'gladsome,' but now '-full' and '-y' dominate, showing how language changes its word-building tools over centuries.
