To ingest something is to take it into your body. That can be food, drink, a pill, or even something bad, like poison. Doctors and scientists like this word because it covers everything that goes in, not only a meal. You eat an apple at the table; a report says a patient ingested a chemical. Everyday people say eat, swallow, or take. Ingest sounds like a hospital or a lab. Though actually, people stretch it: computer workers say a system ingests data, as if the machine were swallowing information. That picture comes from the body meaning. The core is still: it goes in.
攝取、食入（醫院、實驗室用語；日常多說「吃」「吞」。）
組成From Latin ingerō, to carry in: in- (in, into) + gerō (to carry).
