I ran into this word reading Edwards' "Images and Shadows of Divine Things." He states in image #55
"That the works of nature are intended and contrived of God to signify and indigitate spiritual things is particularly evident, concerning the rainbow, by God's own express revelation."
The word essentially means to point forth. The root word is "digit", as in a finger that points. The types and images indigitate because the point toward the antitype.
