Etymology

The French noun **cannibale** comes from the Latin *cannibalis* “cannibal,” itself a borrowing from the Greek *kannibaloi* “people who eat flesh.” The Greek term was applied by classical writers to the people of India (the Kānābals), who were reputed to practice cannibalism. In French, the word entered in the 17th century, retaining the sense of a person or thing that devours everything in its path.
