GORED Meaning and
Definition
-
Gored is a verb that refers to the act of piercing or stabbing someone or something with a horn, tusk, or similar pointed object. It is commonly associated with animals, particularly those that have prominent horns, such as bulls or rhinoceroses. The word can also be used to describe a human being attacked or injured in this manner.
The term is often used when animals engage in aggressive or territorial behavior, where they make forceful charges aimed at their opponent with their horns or tusks. These actions can result in severe injuries or even death. The goring can also occur accidentally, when an animal unintentionally impales another creature while defending itself or maneuvering in a crowded or confined space.
In addition to animals, the word "gored" can be used metaphorically to describe how an object or concept pierces or penetrates something else. For instance, one might say that a piece of glass gored through a piece of fabric. This usage suggests a forceful, cutting, or penetrating action similar to that of a horn impaling flesh.
Overall, "gored" is a verb that describes a specific type of violent and piercing action, most commonly associated with animals, but also used metaphorically to describe similar actions in non-living objects.

Etymology of GORED
The word "gored" derives from the Middle English word "gore", which originally referred to a triangular piece of cloth or a similarly shaped object. This Middle English term has its roots in Old English "gāra", which meant "corner" or "point". Over time, the meaning of "gore" extended to include a triangular piece of land or even a body part. The verb "gored" emerged in the 16th century, describing the act of piercing or impaling with a pointed object, particularly with a horn or tusk. This term has since been applied more broadly to describe any kind of piercing or puncturing, often with the connotation of something being violently penetrated or injured.
