gut

Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai

Số nhiều: gutsQuá khứ: guttedPhân từ 2: guttedV-ing: gutting

This word carries a visceral, raw energy that connects biological anatomy to psychological instinct. When used to describe intuition, it suggests a reaction that bypasses logical reasoning, evoking a physical sensation of certainty located in the belly rather than the mind. It is often used in high-stakes decision-making contexts where data is unavailable. In its destructive sense, whether referring to a building or a person's spirit, it implies a total stripping away of the interior. It suggests a hollowed-out state where the core essence has been violently or tragically removed, leaving only a shell behind.

Countable when referring to the physical intestines of an animal. Uncountable when referring to a person's intuitive sense or the general belly area.
