Etymology
The word 'gormandize' has its origins in the late Middle English period, derived from the Old French term 'gormand', which means 'glutton'. The root of the word can be traced back to the Latin 'gula', meaning 'throat' or 'gluttony'. Over time, it has evolved into the modern English form we use today. The term captures the essence of excessive eating, often associated with indulgent meals or a lack of restraint when it comes to food. Historically, it has been used in literature to describe characters or behaviours that exemplify this aspect of human nature.
