The Latin root syllable 'vor-' means 'to eat up, devour'. An example of an English language derivative is the verb devour. The English verb comes from the Latin root syllable by way of the Latin verb 'devorare'. Latin language derivatives include vorago, which means 'gulf, abyss'. Others include vorare for 'devour'; vorator for 'glutton'; and vorax for 'gluttonous'.
