Etymology
The term 'visceration' originates from the Latin word 'viscera', meaning 'entrails' or 'internal organs'. It has been used in medical terminology since the late 19th century, specifically to describe instances where internal organs are removed, either in surgery or as a result of trauma. The prefix 'eviscerate' also derives from the same root but has taken on its own meanings in both common usage and in the medical field. Historically, the word has connotations that extend beyond merely surgical contexts, sometimes invoking imagery of animals being disemboweled as part of butchery practices.
