Etymology

The word 'ingurgitate' originates from the Latin word 'ingurgitare', which means 'to pour in'. The term was first recorded in English in the early 17th century. Over time, 'ingurgitate' has come to be used figuratively in addition to its literal meaning of swallowing food or drink greedily.
