Carni (माँस) + vor (खाना, जैसे voracious में)। Carnivorous जानवर माँस खाते हैं, जैसे शेर। Carni की जगह herbi (पौधे) लगाइए तो herbivorous, omni (सब) लगाइए तो omnivorous।

Carni (flesh) + vor (eat, as in voracious, a big eater). Carnivorous animals feed on flesh, like the tiger. Swap carni for herbi (plants) and you get herbivorous; omni (all) gives omnivorous.

Exam note

-vorous family साथ रखिए: carnivorous (माँस), herbivorous (पौधे), omnivorous (दोनों), insectivorous (कीड़े)। Noun = carnivore।

Keep the -vorous family together: carnivorous (flesh), herbivorous (plants), omnivorous (both), insectivorous (insects). The noun is carnivore.
