gore

gore
{{11}}gore (n.1) O.E. gor "dirt, dung, filth, shit," a Germanic word (Cf. M.Du. goor "filth, mud;" O.N. gor "cud;" O.H.G. gor "animal dung"), of uncertain origin. Sense of "clotted blood" (especially shed in battle) developed by 1560s.
{{12}}gore (n.2) "triangular piece of ground," O.E. gara, related to gar "spear" (see GAR (Cf. gar)), on the notion of "triangularity." Hence also meanings "front of a skirt" (mid-13c.), and "triangular piece of cloth" (early 14c.).
{{12}}gore (v.) c.1400, from Scottish gorren "to pierce, stab," origin unknown, perhaps related to O.E. gar "spear" (see GAR (Cf. gar), also GORE (Cf. gore) (n.2) "triangular piece of ground"). Related: Gored; goring.
