The act of removing internal organs; the process of stripping away essential meaning or substance from something.
From Latin 'eviscerationem,' the noun form of 'eviscerare.' The '-tion' suffix converts the verb into an abstract noun describing the action.
Medieval surgeons and anatomists used this term literally, but modern writers use 'evisceration' metaphorically to describe how legal arguments, political positions, or creative works get completely dismantled.
