Oprindelse

Ordet rumination stammer fra det latinske ord ruminatio, som kommer fra verbet ruminare, der betyder at gnave igen. Ordet har sin oprindelse i dyrs fordøjelsessystem, hvor det beskriver processen med at tygge maden grundigt igen og igen for at optimere fordøjelsen. Metaforisk set bruges ordet rumination nu om en mental proces, hvor man overvejer eller analyserer noget grundigt og gentagne gange.
