Words derived from Latin "vorare" (to devour)

Hi everybody!
I recently asked you about word with the suffixes -vorous and -vore. I received some helpful posts. Thanks for that!
Now I'm wondering whether there are any other English words derived from the Latin vorare with of course means "to devour." Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
Pete
