Past tense of hemorrhage; experienced a heavy or uncontrolled loss of blood.
From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'rhegnynai' (to burst, break). The verb form indicates an actual bleeding event that has occurred.
The word 'hemorrhaged' literally means the blood literally *burst* out—it comes from the Greek word for 'break,' which perfectly captures why heavy bleeding is medically serious.
