Today's Word "voluptuary"
(adjective) - Voluptuous; luxurious.
"The hackneyed voluptuary is like the jaded epicure, the mere listlessness of whose appetite becomes at length a sufficient penalty for having made it the principle object of his enjoyment and cultivation." -- Sir Walter Scott, 'Peveril of the Peak'
Voluptuary derives from Latin voluptarius, "devoted to pleasure," from voluptas, "pleasure."
