Etymology: "Gluttons" is the plural of "glutton," which entered Middle English as "glotoun" from Old French "gloton," ultimately from Latin "gluttō," "glutton." A curious side branch is the wolverine, also called a glutton, a sense borrowed from German "Vielfraß," itself a folk etymology of Old Norse "fjallfress" ("mountain cat") that led people to believe the animal was unusually voracious.
