Exsanguination
noun
definition: Extensive loss of blood due to internal or external hemorrhage.

Exsanguination has just the one definition, which can vary slightly based on the positive or negative connotations of its use. The root of the word is sanguine, which comes from the Latin sanguineum (of blood, bloody). Sanguine, on the other hand, has several definitions and can be used as a noun, verb, and adjective. When used as a noun, it's a blood-red color. When used as a verb, it means to stain with blood.

Sanguine is most interesting when used as an adjective. It can be used to mean optimistic, passionate, having a blood red color, as well as abundance and active circulation of blood.
