Word Origin
Latin, early 19th century
Why this word?
This foodie adjective comes from the Latin word “edax” (“gluttonous”), from the verb “edere,” which means “to eat.” “Edacious” initially described anything related to eating, but it evolved to specifically imply a voracious appetite. If “edacious” is an adjective to describe the insatiable quality of a hunger, then “edacity” is the noun given to that particular desire.
