The act or process of swallowing.
From Latin deglutitio, from de- (down) + glutire (to swallow), used in medical and anatomical contexts since the 1600s.
Doctors and speech therapists still use this word when studying swallowing disorders—it's the formal medical name for what your throat does dozens of times per minute without you thinking about it.
