Partially digested or incompletely broken down by digestive processes.
From demi- (half) + digested (past tense of digest). A technical or medical term describing an intermediate state of food breakdown in the digestive system.
This word appears in 19th-century medical literature when doctors were trying to understand digestion—it reflects the moment science realized digestion wasn't instant but happened in stages, so food could be 'half-cooked' by your stomach.
