digestibility

/daɪdʒˌɛstəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The degree to which something is digestible.

Word Origin Digestibility comes from Latin digerere, literally 'to carry apart' — breaking down food and distributing its nutrients. The root gerere 'to carry' gives us ingest (carry in), suggest (carry under, i.e., bring to mind), and gesture (a carrying of the body). So digestibility is how well food can be broken down and carried through the body.

noun The degree to which something is digestible. countable
