Point of interest, every day I go through at least a dozen pages for each daily word. Today I found something different and at age 73 learned something new. Read it all the way to the end.

The word "ingest" comes from the Latin verb ingerere, meaning "to carry in" or "to put into".  It is a combination of the Latin prefix "in-" ("into") and the verb "gerere" ("to carry").  The word first appeared in English around the 1610s to describe the act of taking food into the body.  Ingest can also mean to absorb or take in information. 

According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the first known use of the verb "ingest" in English was in the early 1600s, with the earliest evidence from 1617 in the writings of Samuel Collins
