redigesting
Breaking down again
Redigesting is the act of digesting something again.
Food may be redigested after regurgitation, as in ruminant animals that chew their cud.
More often the word applies to information or ideas: I'm still redigesting everything she told me about the company's finances.
The prefix re- emphasizes returning to material already processed once.
