Etymology

The term 'wolf' originates from Old English 'wulf', which is derived from Proto-Germanic '*wulfaz'. The imagery of the wolf has long been associated with voraciousness and fierceness, traits that led to the creation of the verb 'to wolf' in the mid-20th century, meaning to eat ravenously. It reflects not only the behavior of actual wolves, who are known to devour their prey swiftly out of necessity, but also the human tendency to consume food quickly, often driven by hunger or time constraints. Over time, 'wolfing down' has become a common idiomatic expression in the English language, capturing both the action and the attitude of eager eating.
