From enzyme plus -lysis (Greek lysis 'loosening, breaking down'). Literally means 'enzyme-driven breaking' and describes how enzymes cut molecules apart.
Enzymolysis is happening right now in your digestive system—your enzymes are literally breaking down your lunch into pieces small enough for your cells to absorb and use.
