Etymology: < Latin concoct-, participial stem of concoquĕre : see concoct adj.The literal sense in Latin was ‘to boil together, prepare (a mixture) by boiling or heat’, whence transferred ‘to digest in the stomach,’ and figurative ‘to digest or revolve in the mind’, and ‘to stomach or brook with the feelings’; also ‘to make ready with heat, ripen, mature’. Most of the Latin senses have been from time to time taken into English, where they have been increased by other figurative, transferred, allusive, and intermediate uses.
