ingestion

“Les alcaloses métaboliques sont rares, essentiellement en rapport avec l'ingestion accidentelle d'alcalis.” — Metabolic alkaloses are rare, essentially in keeping with the accidental ingestion of alkalis.

Borrowed from Latin ingestionem, accusative of ingestio (“a pouring in”), noun of action from the perfect passive participle of ingerere (“pour in”), from in- (“in, into”) + gero (“to carry, to bear”).
