INGESTED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "ingested" is derived from the verb "ingest," which refers to the act of consuming or taking in substances, typically through the mouth. It is often used in relation to the process of eating or drinking. When something is ingested, it implies that it has been swallowed or inserted into the body orally.

   The act of ingestion involves the taking in of solid, liquid, or gaseous substances, which can range from food and beverages to medication or other foreign objects. Once ingested, these substances travel through the esophagus into the stomach and then proceed through the digestive system for further processing and absorption of nutrients. Ingestion, thus, marks the initial step in the complex process of digestion.

   The context of ingestion can also extend beyond the realm of human or animal consumption. For instance, in the field of pharmacology, it often refers to the introduction of drugs or chemicals into the body, primarily through oral administration, but it may include other routes such as rectal or vaginal insertion. Ingested substances can have various effects on the body, ranging from providing nourishment and energy to therapeutically treating illnesses or inducing toxic reactions.

   Overall, the term "ingested" pertains to the incorporation or intake of substances into the body through the mouth, encompassing the primary stage of digestion or the administration of drugs, chemicals, and other foreign objects.

Etymology of INGESTED

The word "ingested" is derived from the Latin word "ingerere", which means "to carry into", "to bring upon", or "to introduce". It comes from the combination of the prefix "in-" (meaning "into" or "upon") and the verb "gerere" (meaning "to carry" or "to bring"). Over time, this Latin word gave rise to the Old French term "ingester", which eventually evolved into "ingest" in English.
