vorazmente

Vorazmente is a Spanish adverb that conveys performing an action with great appetite, eagerness, or intensity, similar to “voraciously” in English. It is derived from the adjective voraz (meaning ravenous or voracious) and the suffix -mente, which forms adverbs. The etymology traces back to Latin vorax, from vorāre “to devour.”

Typical usage appears in literary or journalistic writing to emphasize keenness or rapid consumption. It can describe physical consumption, as in “Comió vorazmente la sopa,” or figurative exertion, as in “El equipo trabajó vorazmente para cumplir el plazo.”

In everyday speech, speakers may prefer “con voracidad” or “de forma voraz” or simply use voraz as an adjective with a verb, but the -mente adverb form is standard.
