Hemorrhage

Hemorrhage \Hem"or*rhage\, n. [L. haemorrhagia, Gr. a"imorragi`a; a"i^ma blood + "rhgny`nai to break, burst: cf. F. h['e]morragie, h['e]morrhagie.] (Med.) Any discharge of blood from the blood vessels.

Note: The blood circulates in a system of closed tubes, the rupture of which gives rise to hemorrhage.

Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
hemorrhage

c.1400, emorosogie (modern form by 17c.), from Latin haemorrhagia, from Greek haimorrhagia, from haimorrhages "bleeding violently," from haima "blood" (see -emia) + rhage "a breaking," from rhegnynai "to break, burst." Related: Hemorrhagic.

hemorrhage

by 1882, from hemorrhage (n.). Related: Hemorrhaged; hemorrhaging.\n\nSlang in Reports: B.I.D. for "Brought in Dead" and "Dotty" are, [Mr. Sidney Holland of London Hospital] considers, permissible expressions, but he draws the line at "fitting" and "hæmorrhaging." Only such terms, he says, should be used as outside doctors will understand. We would say that on a point of such odiously bad taste he might have been much more severe.

[Lavinia L. Dock, "The American Journal of Nursing," 1906]
