glut

Etymology

Inherited from Middle English glotien / glotten, probably derived from Old French gloter / glotir / glotoiier (“to eat greedily”) — compare French engloutir (“to devour”) and French glouton (“glutton”) — which in turn derives from Latin gluttiō, gluttīre (“to swallow”). Compare also Russian глота́ть (glotátʹ, “to swallow”).
