A person who causes bloodshed through violence; a killer or murderer.
Compound of blood and spiller (from Old English spillan, meaning to spill or pour out), describing someone who causes blood to be spilled as though pouring it out.
Like 'bloodshedder,' this word emphasizes the violent action—'spilling' blood suggests careless waste and destruction, making it harsher and more accusatory than neutral terms like 'warrior' or 'soldier.'
