'binge-view' originates from English, specifically as a compound of 'binge' and 'view', where 'binge' meant 'a period of excessive indulgence' and 'view' meant 'to look or watch'.

'binge-view' formed by analogy with modern compounds such as 'binge-watch' (a late 20th/early 21st-century coinage). 'binge' is attested from mid-19th-century British slang/dialect (possibly from dialect 'bing'), while 'view' ultimately comes from Old French (e.g. 'veue'/'veoir') and Latin 'vidēre'.

Initially, 'binge' referred to a period of excessive indulgence (often in eating or drinking); over time the sense extended to other activities, so compounds like 'binge-view' now mean 'to consume a large amount of audiovisual content in a short time'.
