Rumination


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of ruminating, or chewing the cud; the habit of chewing the cud.
  • (n.) The state of being disposed to ruminate or ponder; deliberate meditation or reflection.
  • (n.) The regurgitation of food from the stomach after it has been swallowed, -- occasionally observed as a morbid phenomenon in man.

Example Sentences:
