famish
v. be hungry, suffer from hunger; make hungry; starve to death


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Hunger
Hunger is a feeling experienced when the glycogen level of the liver falls below a threshold, usually followed by a desire to eat. The usually unpleasant feeling originates in the hypothalamus and is released through receptors in the liver. Although an average nourished human can survive weeks without food intake, the sensation of hunger typically begins after a couple hours without eating and is generally considered quite uncomfortable.

Famish
To dream that you are famishing, foretells that you are meeting disheartening failure in some enterprise which you considered a promising success. To see others famishing, brings sorrow to others as well as to yourself.
