Etymology
An adjective (likely reflecting Vulgar Latin *gluttus) based on the nominative of Latin gluttō (“glutton”), itself a noun based on gluttiō (“to swallow”), from gula (“throat”, whence also the Italian gola), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷel- (“throat”). Doublet of ghiottone, from the Latin accusative gluttōnem. Cognate to French glouton, whence English glutton.
