Relating to or aiding digestion; having the quality of promoting digestive processes.
From 'digest' plus the adjective suffix '-ory' (from Latin -orius). This rare synonym for 'digestive' appears occasionally in older medical and scientific writing.
Scientists in the 1600s and 1700s loved '-ory' adjectives as digestory, respiratory, and sensory—it made everyday processes sound grand and scientific, fitting with the Age of Enlightenment's fascination with categorizing nature.
