glutton

• 大食漢

PIE*gwele（喉、飲み込む）の語源で、語源的にはgulletと同じ。

glutton

glutton: [13] Indo-European *gel- produced a wide range of descendants in the general semantic area ‘swallow’, among them Latin gula ‘throat’ and its offspring French gueule ‘mouth’ and English gullet; German kehle ‘throat’; and Latin gluttīre ‘swallow’, which was probably the ultimate source of English glut [14]. Another was Latin gluttō ‘overeater’, which English acquired via Old French gluton.
=> glut, gullet

glutton (n.)

"one who eats and drinks to excess," early 13c., from Old French gloton "glutton;" also "scoundrel," a general term of abuse (Modern French glouton), from Latin gluttonem (nominative glutto) "overeater," formed from gluttire "to swallow," from gula "throat," from PIE *gwele- (3) "to swallow" (see glut (v.)). General sense in reference to one who indulges in anything to excess is from 1704. Glutton for punishment is from pugilism; the phrase is from 1854, but the idea is older:

Thus, Theocritus, in his Milling-match, calls Amycus "a glutton," which is well known to be the classical phrase at Moulsey-Hurst, for one who, like Amycus, takes a deal of punishment before he is satisfied. [Tom Moore, "Tom Crib's Memorial to Congress," 1819]
