Etymology

1. "collection of writing," 1387, from L. digestus, pp. of digerere "to separate, divide, arrange," from dis- "apart" + gerere "to carry."
2. From Middle English digesten, from Latin dīgestus, past participle of dīgerō (“carry apart”), from dī- (for dis- (“apart”)) + gerō (“to carry”), influenced by Middle French digestion. Partly displaced native Old English meltan (intransitive) and mieltan (transitive), both “to melt, to digest,” whence Modern English melt.
