I tried that new recipe you suggested, but I was worried it wouldn’t be digestible.

Oh, it’s actually really digestible and light on the stomach!

That’s good to know! I prefer meals that are easy to digest.

Root Explanation

Digestible → It is formed from "digest" (from Latin "digestus", meaning to lead apart or separate) and "-ible" (meaning capable of). The word "digestible" means capable of being led apart or separated, referring to food that can be broken down by the body.

Memory Tip

Think of food that is 'capable of being broken down' — 'digest' means to separate, and '-ible' means capable.
