digerisce

Digerisce is the third-person singular present indicative form of the Italian verb digerire, meaning to digest. The verb describes the biological process by which the body breaks down food, typically in the stomach and intestines. It can also be used metaphorically to indicate processing or coming to terms with information, experiences, or situations.

Etymology and usage notes: digerire derives from Latin digerere, a verb related to the idea of breaking down or separating components. In Italian, digerire is a transitive verb that takes a direct object, for example: il corpo digerisce il cibo (the body digests the food). The form digerisce is used when the subject is he, she, or it. The related forms allow expression of both literal digestion and figurative processing of matters.
