## AI Etymology
Unvoracious comes from un- ('not') plus voracious, from Latin vorax ('greedy, ravenous'), from vorāre ('to devour, swallow'). In current use it is an adjective meaning "not greedy or insatiable; lacking voracity". That sense is explained by the older material without requiring a speculative semantic step: the inherited or borrowed base supplies the field of meaning, while the English formation fixes its modern role. The prefix un- is negative or privative, marking the absence, denial, or opposite of the base idea. The surface form is compositional: its joined elements remain visible in the modern word. The historical chain includes Old English un- and Latin vorāre. Related English forms include voracious, voracity, and devour. As a result, the modern word is best read as a negative, privative, or reversative formation built on a historically older base.
