voraciously

/vɔˈɹeɪʃəsli/ adv C1 ✓

In a voracious manner.

Word Origin From Latin vorare 'to devour' — voraciously means 'in a ravenous, devouring manner.' The same root gives us carnivore (meat-eater), herbivore (plant-eater), and omnivore (all-eater). The PIE *gwora- meant 'to swallow, devour,' and also gives us devour (via French). So voraciously is about eating like a wild animal.
