Morphology
ingurgitate = gurgitate (semi-transparent) = in + gurgitate
Formed by prefixing 'in-' to the verb 'gurgitate', but 'gurgitate' is a rare root and 'in-' here is more of an intensifier, so the meaning may not be obvious to average learners.
Etymology
Ingurgitate comes from Latin parts in- 'into' and gurgitare 'to rush into the throat', and it is related to English words like gurgle and gorge. So, ingurgitate means to 'eat or drink too much', as if you push food quickly into your throat.
