Etymology: "Raveningly" is a plain formation: the adjective "ravening," meaning voraciously hungry or seeking prey, with the adverb-forming suffix "-ly" added to the end. The adjective itself comes from the verb "raven," which goes back to the idea of seizing and devouring prey. Its sense of ravenous greed sits close to the older meaning of plundering, so the adverb carries that predatory edge into any description of eager, insatiable desire.

Synonyms: greedily, voraciously
