1. The thick semifluid mass of partly digested food that is passed from the stomach to the duodenum or small intestine: "Chyme is what the food looks like after the stomach has processed it and it is ready to go down into the next digestive process."

"Remember that chyme rhymes with slime and that the slime rhyme is the correct pronunciation and it is also what food looks like after the stomach has done its job and is ready to send it down to the next digestive process."

The chyme is the partly digested food which comes from the stomach into the intestine and is very acid and gray in color, containing salts and sugars in solution, and the animal food is softened into a semi-liquid mass where it is then converted into chyle (round-white fat particles that are formed in the small intestine during digestion)."

2. Etymology: chyme comes from a Greek root that means "juice" or "liquid".
