That which is thought of as added we call an appendage to; that which is looked upon as an integral part is called an appendage of.
APPETITE.
Synonyms:
| appetency, | impulse, | lust, | propensity, |
| craving, | inclination, | passion, | relish, |
| desire, | liking, | proclivity, | thirst, |
| disposition, | longing, | proneness, | zest. |
Appetite is used only of the demands of the physical system, unless otherwise expressly stated, as when we say an appetite for knowledge; passion includes all excitable impulses of our nature, as anger, fear, love, hatred, etc. Appetite is thus more animal than passion; and when we speak of passions and appetites as conjoined or contrasted, we think of the appetites as wholly physical and of the passions as, in part at least, mental or spiritual. We say an appetite for food, a passion for fame. Compare [DESIRE].
Antonyms:

| aversion, | disgust, | disrelish, | hatred, | loathing, | repulsion. |
