内臓を抜き取られた
解説 Definition
内臓を取り除かれた状態。比喩的に、内容や本質を骨抜きにされたことも指す。
Eviscerated means that the internal organs have been removed from a body, especially from an animal or fish prepared for food. It can also be used in a figurative way to mean severely weakened or stripped of important parts. In literal use, it is common in cooking, biology, and food processing.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
eviscerated は、ただ「傷ついた」「壊れた」ではなく、「中身を抜かれて空っぽにされた」という絵で覚えると強いです。比喩では a bill was eviscerated なら「法案の重要部分が削られて骨抜き」、literal なら fish were eviscerated のように下処理の文脈。visceral と同じ viscer- を見たら body の奥・内臓を連想。destroyed より「外形は残るが本質が抜けた」感じで、gutted に近いが、eviscerated のほうが硬く徹底的です。
Notice the middle part `viscer-`, which is also in `visceral` and relates to the inner organs. The image is not just damage, but something having its inside removed. That is why `eviscerated` is often stronger than `damaged` and close to `gutted`.

eviscerated の類義語・関連語
eviscerated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
eviscerated はラテン語 eviscerare「内臓を取り出す」に由来し、e-「外へ」+ viscera「内臓」から成ります。字義どおり「腹の中身を外へ出す」で、そこから比喩的にも「中身を抜かれた、骨抜きの」という感覚につながります。関連語は visceral, viscus.
This comes from Latin eviscerare, literally "to remove the inner organs." It is made from e- "out" and viscera "internal organs." From the physical idea of taking out what is inside, it later developed a figurative sense of something being emptied of its real substance; related English words include visceral and viscus.
