Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：医学/生理、学术论文、专业报告 ingest 是正式用词，多用于医学、生物学等专业语境或正式书面语；日常口语中表达“吃/喝”通常用 eat/drink。使用时多搭配 food、medicine、nutrients 等名词。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Pronunciation note: Ingest /ɪnˈdʒɛst/ rhymes with suggest /səˈdʒɛst/, digest /dɪˈdʒɛst/ (verb), detest /dɪˈtɛst/, quest /kwɛst/, and chest /tʃɛst/, because they all have a stressed /ɛst/ ending. Beware the lookalike insect /ˈɪnsɛkt/: it carries stress on the first syllable and ends in /kt/, so it does not rhyme with ingest. Also, the noun digest and some verb pronunciations are /daɪˈdʒɛst/, which do not rhyme.
