How to spell digestible

What it means: Easy for the stomach to break down as food.

In a sentence: The soup is tasty and easily digestible for everyone. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: digestion, digestive, indigestible, digest, digesting. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Digestible” comes from the Latin verb “digerere,” meaning “to separate, arrange, or dissolve.” Over time it came to refer to how the body “separates” and breaks down food, which is why we now use it for both food and easily understood information.
