Free MCQs for FPSC, NTS, PPSC, PMS, CSS & All Pakistan Exams 2026

Antonym of “Ingest” is:

A. Disgorge
B. Disrupt
C. Absorb
D. Devour

 

Explanation:

The word ingest means to take food, drink, or any substance into the body through the mouth.

In simple words: to eat or swallow something.

The opposite of ingest is to bring something out of the body again after swallowing, which is called disgorge (or vomit / throw out).

So, Disgorge is the correct antonym of Ingest.

Real-Life Example

Imagine you eat something bad or spoiled food:

  • You ingest food when you eat it.
  • If your body rejects it and you vomit it out, you disgorge it.

Eat in = Ingest
Throw out = Disgorge

Main Points for Exams
  • Ingest means to take food or substance into the body.
  • Disgorge means to throw out or vomit what has been swallowed.
  • Absorb and Devour are related to intake, not opposite.
  • Disrupt is unrelated to digestion.
  • Therefore, Disgorge is the correct antonym of Ingest.
  • This type of vocabulary question is common in PPSC, FPSC, CSS, PMS, NTS, IELTS, TOEFL, and other competitive exams.
