The complete process and result of food being transformed into chyle within the digestive system.
From Latin 'chylus' + '-fication' (the process of making). This noun form became standard in medical terminology in the 18th century to describe the entire digestive-to-lymphatic transformation.
This word is to digestion what 'photosynthesis' is to plants—it's the name of a fundamental biological transformation that happens invisibly inside us, converting external food into internal fuel!
