- 1
A person who eats the flesh of other human beings. It can also describe an animal that eats members of its own kind — for example, some kinds of fish or spiders are cannibals because they eat others of their own species.
食人族；(動物)同類相食者
組成The word came from "Caniba", the name Europeans once gave to a Caribbean people, who they wrongly believed ate human flesh — so it's really a name that turned into a word, not two clear pieces.
