Etymology
Borrowed from Latin ēsurient, ēsurientem, from ēsuriēns (“hungering”), the present participle of ēsuriō (“to be hungry, to hunger for something”). This is a desiderative verb built from edō (“to eat”) (which ultimately traces to Proto-Indo-European *h₁édti (“to eat”)) plus -turiō (a suffix showing a desire for an action).
