Ah good all Latin, condensing "to chew the cud" into "ruminate". Funnily, it seems it's origins beyond Latin are unknown/debated; I'm used to words being traced to PIE or another proto-language, so it's always so interesting when a words possible ultimate etymology is unknown.
It's okay to have those sticky thoughts after our brains decided to traumatise us through our dreams. We love you, and if you need to chat or vent then my DMs are open always. ๐๐ Sending you good vibes ๐๐
Good old Latin, good old brains. Thank you, Spud <3 I really appreciate your support!
