Etymology

The term 'gormandize' originates from the French word 'gormand', which means a greedy eater or glutton. It is derived from the Old French 'gormandier', which refers to one who eats greedily. The roots can be traced back to the Latin 'gula', meaning throat, which also connotes gluttony. In English literature, the term has been used since at least the 16th century to depict excessive eating habits. The evolution of the word encapsulates not only the action of overeating but also the cultural implications of indulgence in food, making it a vivid representation of culinary excess.
