Morphology
esurience = esurient (opaque) = esuri + ence
Although the noun is formed by a regular adjectival-to-noun suffixation, the base 'esurient' and the combining form 'esuri-' are rare and not known to typical B1 learners, so the meaning cannot be derived from familiar components.
Etymology
Esurience comes from the Latin verb esurire, which means 'to be hungry'. So esurience describes a very strong hunger or a greed for food.
