Origin of Glutton
Origin 1: From Middle English glotoun, from Old French gloton, gluton, from Latin gluttō, gluttōnis (“glutton”).
Origin 2: The use for the wolverine is a semantic loan from German Vielfraß, itself a folk etymology for Old Norse *fjallfress (literally “mountain cat”).[1][2] The popular belief that the wolverine is particularly voracious only developed because of this name. See the German for more.
