Equivorous

/ɪˈkwɪvərəs/

समान आहार वाला; एक जैसी चीज़ें खाने वाला (अप्रचलित/गैर-मानक)

Origin & History

Apparently a modern coined/nonce formation: equi- (Latin aequus ‘equal’) + -vorous (from Latin vorare ‘to devour’), by analogy with herbivorous/carnivorous/omnivorous.

प्रतीत होता है कि यह आधुनिक गढ़ा/अप्रचलित निर्माण है: equi- (लैटिन aequus ‘समान’) + -vorous (लैटिन vorare ‘निगलना/खाना’), जिसे herbivorous/carnivorous/omnivorous जैसे शब्दों की तर्ज़ पर बनाया गया है।

Definition

The word “equivorous” is not recorded as a standard English dictionary entry; it appears to be a formed/nonce adjective from equi- (“equal”) + -vorous (“eating”), used to suggest eating the same kinds of food or having similar dietary habits.

“equivorous” शब्द मानक अंग्रेज़ी शब्दकोशों में सामान्यतः दर्ज नहीं मिलता; यह equi- (“समान/बराबर”) + -vorous (“खाने वाला”) से बना एक गढ़ा/अप्रचलित विशेषण प्रतीत होता है, जिसका आशय एक जैसी चीज़ें खाने या समान आहार-आदतें होने से है।
