Acquisitive
<ah-qwiz-zit-tiv>
predatory; greedy; materialistic;
being eager to get things, knowledge or money.
The acquisitive squirrel gathered nuts all day. It was happy all winter.
Memory trick:
acquisitive reminds of acquire.
acquire means to get something.
At work:
She is relentlessly acquisitive about accounting. She is the best accountant we have.
Be acquisitive about knowledge.
