Having an insatiable appetite for ideas or concepts, often characterized by an individual's constant pursuit of knowledge, creativity, and intellectual stimulation.
Etymology
The term "ideophagous" is derived from two Greek roots: "ideo" (ίδεα), meaning "idea" or "concept," and "phagous" (φαγούς), meaning "eating" or "consuming." Together, these roots form the compound word "ideophagous," which figuratively describes a person or entity that devours ideas or concepts.
Usage
The ideophagous scientist spent long hours in the library, consuming information from various disciplines.
Her ideophagous nature led her to explore numerous fields of study, constantly seeking new perspectives and insights.
