Regurgitate means to pour or cast out again. The term is especially applied to the act of bringing swallowed food back up to the mouth. This should not be confused with vomiting which is the ejection of ingested food through the mouth. Rather, regurgitation is a usually conscious act carried out by cows when chewing the cud and many other animals when feeding their young. The parent will partially chew the food and then regurgitate it and deliver it to the young which is still too young to masticate its own food. The term regurgitate is also used to describe recalling facts in an educational environment, rather than paraphrasing the information previously delivered by a lecturer or essay. Research Regurgitate
