What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
Eat — the ordinary act of taking food, whether used without an object ("they ate"), with an object naming the food (bread, the Passover, sacrifices), or in phrases like "eat and drink" 1234. It covers everyday meals, table-fellowship, and the opposite of fasting, as well as the more figurative use of "eating and drinking" for feasting or revelling 1.
By extension the word can mean to devour or consume, used of things like fire or rust "eating" flesh or riches rather than of ordinary eating 1.
