Etymology
An adjective (likely reflecting Vulgar Latin *gluttus) based on the nominative of Latin gluttō (“glutton”), itself a noun based on gluttiō (“to swallow”), possibly related to gula (“throat”, whence also the Italian gola). Doublet of ghiottone, from the Latin accusative gluttōnem. Cognate to French glouton, whence English glutton. See: French Adjectives '
glouton', English Adjectives '
