noun

Etymology: From Middle English indigestioun, from Old French indigestion, from Late Latin indigestio, by surface analysis, in- + digestion.

  1. A condition of heartburn, nausea, or other stomach-related pain, sometimes caused by eating too quickly.

    If you also knew how to combine foods—that is, what foods eaten together “set well,” you need never have indigestion, constipation or any of the headachy, stomachachy ills they lead to.
