nourishing

/ˈnɝɪʃɪŋ/ adj

That provides nourishment; nutritious.

Word Origin From Latin nutrire 'to suckle, feed' — the same root that gives us nursery (a place for nurturing young children) and nourishment. The -ing makes it active: something that is currently feeding or fostering. The PIE root *snāu- meant 'to flow, to let flow,' which you can almost see in the idea of milk flowing to a baby. That's why malnourished literally means 'badly fed.'
