hemorragia
/emoˈraxja/ · B1 · noun · f
bleeding
🩸 Greek haima (blood) + rhegnynai (burst): blood bursting out
Same Greek root as hemoglobin, plus -rragia, meaning a bursting flow. The Spanish h is silent, so the word starts with an e sound. The rr is a rolled trill, and the g sounds like a throaty j: e-mo-RRA-hia.
