Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'digerere', meaning 'to distribute, dissolve, or arrange', composed of 'dis-' (apart) and 'gerere' (to carry or bring). Over time, the term shifted in English from organizing writings systematically to the physiological breakdown of food, and later to the mental assimilation of information.
