From Middle English entraille, entrailles, from Old French entrailles, from Vulgar Latin intrālia, from Latin interānea, from interāneus, from inter. Compare Spanish entraña.

noun

  1. archaic The internal organs of an animal, especially the intestines. Elizabethan audiences relished shocks and surprises as much as they did trumpets, thunder and savage realism in bloody scenes of torture and death which were made all the more horrible by the use of animals’ entrails.

    Similar: bowels, inmeat, innards, intestines, offal, viscera

  2. archaic, obsolete The seat of the emotions.
