Etymology

From Middle High German ingeweide, from earlier geweide, a word restricted to High German. Predominantly attributed to hunter’s jargon as a derivation from Weide (“food, pasture”), as some of the guts are thrown to the dogs. Alternatively related to Weide (“willow”), then in the sense of “something wound up, convoluted”; compare Latin viscera (“entrails”).
