Quá khứ: masticatedPhân từ 2: masticatedV-ing: masticating

This term is the technical, clinical equivalent of chew. It is primarily used in biological, medical, or scientific contexts to describe the mechanical process of breaking down food. Using it in a casual dinner conversation would sound overly formal or intentionally pedantic.

Because it describes a physiological function, it often appears in texts regarding anatomy or veterinary science. It focuses on the physical action of the teeth and jaws rather than the sensory experience of eating or tasting.
