indigestive

/ˌɪndɪdʒˈɛstɪv/ adj

Having or relating to indigestion; dyspeptic.

Word Origin Indigestive means not digestive — something that hinders digestion. Digestive comes from Latin 'digerere' 'to separate, dissolve', from dis- 'apart' + 'gerere' 'to carry'. 'Gerere' also gives us suggest, congest, and exaggerate. Indigestive is the opposite of breaking food down; it's what happens when you eat too much.
