From Middle English gore, gor, gorre (“mud, muck”), from Old English gor (“dirt, dung, filth, muck”), from Proto-Germanic *gurą (“half-digested stomach contents; feces; manure”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰer- (“hot; warm”).

Noun

gore (uncountable)

2. Blood, especially that from a wound when thickened due to exposure to the air.
3. Murder, bloodshed, violence.
   • 2017 February 23, Katie Rife, “The Girl With All The Gifts tries to put a fresh spin on overripe zombie clichés”, in The Onion AV Club‎^[1]:

     The zombie scenes are reminiscent of what you might see on a show like The Walking Dead, short bursts of extreme violence and gore punctuating expository dialogue scenes where the survivors try to figure out how they’re going to get from point A to point B.

4. (obsolete except in dialects) Dirt; mud; filth.
