Default Re: take the edge of one's appetite
Hi vil

I agree with the definitions and examples you found. In addition, a sword has a sharp edge; sharp things are painful; to be hungry can also be painful, which is why a snack can take the edge off (of) one's appetite (i.e., reduce a person's hunger).
