Voracious is one of several English words that derive from the Latin
verb vorare, which means "to eat greedily" or "to devour." "Vorare" is also
an ancestor of "devour" and of the "-ivorous" words, which describe the
diets of various animals. These include "carnivorous" ("meat-eating"),
"herbivorous" ("plant-eating"), "omnivorous" ("feeding on both animals
and plants"), "frugivorous" ("fruit-eating"), "graminivorous" ("feeding on
grass"), and "piscivorous" ("fish-eating").
