entrailn.1Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French entraille. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman, entraile, entreil, entrel, Anglo-Norman and Old French entrail, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French entraille, Middle French entreille (chiefly in plural; French entraille now only in plural) fatty part of the internal organs of a bovine animal (11th cent.), viscera, internal organs collectively, (figurative) a person's viscera considered as the seat of emotions and thoughts (both early 12th cent.), the innermost part of something (early 15th cent. or earlier) < post-classical Latin intralia (neuter plural) inward parts, intestines (8th cent.), alteration (with suffix substitution: see -al suffix1) of classical Latin interānea entrails, use as noun of neuter plural of interāneus intestinal < inter between, among (see inter prep.) + -āneus (see -aneous suffix).Compare Old Occitan entralhas , (rare) intralhas , Catalan †entrales , †entralyes , Italian entraglie (all 13th cent.), plural nouns. Many Romance languages have forms closer to the ulterior Latin etymon, e.g. Old French entraigne , singular (12th cent.), and (chiefly in plural) Spanish entraña (c1200 as entranna ), Portuguese entranha (14th cent.). Specific senses. In entrails of mercy at sense 7 after post-classical Latin viscera miserationis (Vetus Latina: Philippians 2:1), a variant reading for viscera et miserationes (Vulgate); the Greek text reads σπλάγχνα καὶ οἰκτιρμοί ‘affections (lit., viscera) and compassions’. Specific forms. Early β. forms show remodelling after post-classical Latin intralia or other words in in- prefix3 or in- prefix1; some later regional and nonstandard forms of this type may simply show raising of the initial vowel.
