đẫm máu

/ˈɡɔːri//ˈɡɔːri/

The word "gory" has a complex etymology. It originated from the Old French word "gore", which means "sausage" or "blood sausage". This comes from the Latin "sanguis", meaning "blood". The Old French "gore" referred to a type of sausage made from blood and entrails. Over time, the word "gore" evolved into "gory", which took on a new meaning in English. In the 14th century, "gory" began to be used to describe something covered in blood or gore, such as a gruesome death or a gory wound. Today, the word "gory" is often used to describe violent or graphic content, such as a gory horror movie or a violent fight scene. Despite its origins in food, the word "gory" has taken on a new life in modern language.
