What do we call someone who eats earthworms?
Odd question, but I wonder if there is a word for someone who eats earthworms. I tried hard to find if there is such a word, and I found none. Thank you.
Scolecophagous is someone who eats worms.
It is listed in The Grandiloquent Dictionary (by Christopher Bird) along with scoleciphobia which means the fear of worms.
It is from Ancient Greek σκώληξ worm (scolex) + the suffix -ϕάγος: -phagous.
A vermivore is an animal that eats worms. It may also be the best word to describe a person that eats worms, as I very much doubt there is a different word for this.
