Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The adjective 'avid' derives from the Latin 'avidus', meaning eager or greedy, coming from 'avēre' (to long for), entering English in the late 18th century. 'Reader' stems from the Old English 'rǣdere', derived from 'rǣdan' (to advise, read). Combined, the phrase describes someone characterized by an enthusiastic and insatiable appetite for reading books.
