The worthless word for the day is: eventerate

[fr. L. e-, out + venter, belly; cf. F. eventrer]

Obs. rare : to open the bowels of; to disembowel

"[H]ere is Richard III., sinister and deformed; here, with his broad face and his great stomach, Henry VIII, who, of five wives that he had, killed three, one of whom he eventerated.."
- Victor Hugo, Napoleon the Little (tr. 1852)
