digestively

/daɪˈdʒɛstɪvli/ adv

In a digestive manner; by means of digestion

Word Origin From Latin 'dis-' (apart) and 'gerere' (to carry) — so digestion is literally 'carrying apart', breaking food down. The breakdown 'di+gest+ive+ly' shows the root 'gest' (carry). The same 'gerere' root gives us 'suggest' (carry under, bring to mind), 'congest' (carry together), and 'belligerent' (carrying war).
