Word of the Day: MONOPHAGIZE

ETYMOLOGY
from Greek µονοϕάγος (monofagos) (that eats alone) + -ize

EXAMPLE
“…you who make us fight for every cabbage at the greengrocer’s, and prestige in its favour, that whereas the glutton might sometimes munch and monophagize in solitude, leading the life of a wolf or of a lion, those who drank generally drank together, and, as it was always said and supposed, to each other’s health and prosperity…”
