What are words that end with the ending suffix vore?

You're probably thinking of the word "devour", which is often used in the context of consuming something with great enthusiasm or voracity.

However, "vore" is not a common suffix in English. The "-vore" suffix is more common, meaning "eating" or "feeding on". Here are some examples:

* Herbivore: An animal that eats plants

* Carnivore: An animal that eats meat

* Omnivore: An animal that eats both plants and meat

* Planktivore: An animal that eats plankton
