Word origin
出血 (shukketsu, "bleeding") combines 出 (shutsu, "go out") with 血 (ketsu, "blood"), and the final tsu of shutsu becomes a doubled k sound before ketsu.
Usage tips
- Unlike the English gerund "bleeding", 出血 (shukketsu) is a noun, so 出血しています (shukketsu shite imasu) commonly describes bleeding in progress.
