predigests
Breaks down beforehand
Predigests means to break down food or information before consumption.
Literally, some animals predigest food for their young by partially digesting it first.
More commonly figurative: material that has been predigested is simplified or processed to make it easier to absorb: The textbook predigests complex theories for undergraduates.
The implication is often that something has been oversimplified.
