Assimilate (literally and figuratively) (6)

I believe the answer is:

digest

(Other definitions for digest that I've seen before include "Gradually come to understand" , "Absorb and assimilate, like food" , "abstract" , "Assimilate (mentally)" , "Periodical that summarizes the news" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
