It means “eater”. The most common word using it is “bacteriophage”, which is any virus that eats bacteria.

The suffix “-phage” comes from the Greek word “phagien” which means (no surprise) “to eat”.

It literally means “eater;” thus, a bateriophage is a virus that’s capable of reproducing in and lysing bacterial cells.

In theory, they have no ******* idea. And, as Rene’s answer has shown, they truly have no ******* idea. My theory now has evidence behind it, but not enough to constitute a scientific theory.
