Etymology
Cannibalistic comes from the word cannibal, a name early European explorers used for some Caribbean people they believed 'ate their own kind', and the ending -istic means 'relating to'. So cannibalistic means 'relating to eating members of your own species', and it is also used for very aggressive actions that harm the same group.
