Morphology

digestively = digestive (semi-transparent) = digest + ive + ly

The form 'digestive' is a straightforward adjectival derivation from 'digest', but the sense meaning 'making information easy to absorb' is a metaphorical extension from bodily digestion and therefore not fully literal for learners.

Etymology

The word digestively comes from digest and digestion, which mean 'to break down' food so the body can 'take it in'. So when someone explains something digestively, they 'break it down' into small, clear parts so listeners can easily understand and remember it.
