What does CHYME mean in Scrabble?
noun

The thick, partly digested mass of food that passes from the stomach into the small intestine.
Chyme forms when the stomach churns swallowed food together with gastric acid and enzymes into a semi-liquid pulp. This mixture then moves through the pyloric valve into the duodenum, where digestion continues and nutrients begin to be absorbed. The term is standard vocabulary in physiology and medicine rather than everyday conversation.
