Morphology

ingestion = ingest (semi-transparent) = ingest + ion

Formally a nominalization of 'ingest', but the sense is metaphorically extended to data import, so the mapping is not purely literal for learners.

Etymology

Ingestion comes from Latin parts in- 'into' and gest 'carry'. Think of it as 'carrying into' a system, so in computing ingestion means bringing data into a computer or storage so it can be used.
