Gk. gē (o) = 'Earth'

Gk. phagein = 'to eat'

hence, a person practicing geophagy is an earth-eater .. I seem to remember some species on this planet who just suck up and eat the dirt or earth and then their digestive systems sort out the good stuff and pass the rest out .. such an animal or person would be called a geophage.
