Morphology

gluttonize = glutton (transparent) = glutton + ize

Formed by the noun 'glutton' plus the productive verb-forming suffix '-ize', so the meaning 'to act like a glutton / eat excessively' is directly derived.

Etymology

Gluttonize starts with glutton, a word for someone who eats too much, and that comes from an old Latin verb meaning 'to gulp down'. The ending -ize turns it into a verb, so to gluttonize is to eat greedily or 'eat too much'.
