Etymology
The word 'gory' derives from the Old English term 'gore,' which originally meant 'blood' or 'bloodshed' and came to be associated with scenes that evoke a sense of horror due to violence and gore. The usage of 'gory' in modern English emerged in the late 19th century, particularly in literary and cinematic contexts, to describe works that contain explicit representations of violence. The comparative form 'gorier' follows standard English rules for comparison, highlighting an increase in the intensity or degree of the gory nature of a subject. It reflects societal changes in the depiction of violence within media, where the threshold for what is considered acceptable has evolved, leading to the production of increasingly explicit content aimed at engaging audiences who seek thrilling and shocking experiences.
