Gulosities

/ɡuːˈlɒsɪtiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gulosity; multiple instances or acts of excessive eating or greed.

Etymology

From 'gulosity' (greed, gluttony) with the plural suffix '-ies,' ultimately tracing back to Latin 'gula' meaning throat or appetite.

Kelly Says

The word 'gulosity' fell out of fashion in English around the 1800s, but it's a wonderfully specific term for greed centered on food—we've lost this word even though gluttony and overeating are more common now than when the word was popular!
