nounmasculinea-steman eater, overeater, gluttona giantFrom Proto-Indo-European *h₁éd-un-o-s (‘eater, devourer’), a thematicized form of the oblique stem of *h₁éd-wr̥ ~ *h₁d-wén-s, an r/n-heteroclitic form from root *h₁ed- (‘to eat’) Wodtko et al. 2008. Compare structural cognates from the same root: Ancient Greek εἶδαρ (eîdăr, ‘food’) < PIE *h₁édur, Vedic Sanskrit अद्वन् (ādvan) in अग्राद्वन् (agrādvan, ‘having precedence in eating’) < PIE *h₁dwén, and Luwian 𒀀𒁺𒈾 (a-du-na /aduna/, ‘to eat’) < PIE *h₁éd-un-o-. The semantics changed from ‘devourer’ → ‘giant’ in the daughter languages.
