Morphology

englut = glut (transparent) = en + glut

The verb is formed by the productive causative prefix 'en-' plus the verb 'glut', yielding the expected meaning 'to cause to glut / to glut oneself'.

Etymology

Englut comes from the prefix en- meaning 'in' plus glut, the same root you see in glutton and glut ('too much'). A helpful image is filling your stomach 'in' with too much food, which is why to englut means to eat greedily or to devour large amounts.
