Etymology
de gem-pro ine-pro
From de gmh ingeweide, from earlier gmh geweide, a word restricted to High German. Predominantly attributed to hunter’s jargon as a derivation from de Weide food, pasture, as some of the guts are thrown to the dogs. Alternatively related to de Weide willow, then in the sense of “something wound up, convoluted”; compare la viscera entrails.
