voracity

/vɝˈæsəti/, /vɔˈɹæsəti/ noun C2 ✓

The state of being voracious; rapacity or extreme gluttony.

Word Origin From Latin vorare 'to devour' — voracity is the quality of being ravenous. The same root gives us voracious and the -vore words: carnivore, herbivore, omnivore. The PIE root *gwhora- is about swallowing. So voracity is the noun form of that devouring hunger.
