Word origin
The word 'glutton' originates from the Latin word 'gluttire', which means 'to gulp down or swallow'. In medieval times, a glutton was associated with someone who overindulged in food and drink, often to excess. The term has evolved to also describe a person with an insatiable appetite for other things, such as work or punishment.
