Etymology
The term "ideophagous" is derived from two Greek roots: "ideo" (ίδεα), meaning "idea" or "concept," and "phagous" (φαγούς), meaning "eating" or "consuming." Together, these roots form the compound word "ideophagous," which figuratively describes a person or entity that devours ideas or concepts.
Usage

Her ideophagous nature led her to explore numerous fields of study, constantly seeking new perspectives and insights.
