How to say "gore" in Japanese

Choosing the right word
  • nounThe fabric sense of 'gore': a triangular piece of cloth used in making skirts, umbrellas and the like. A less common word, found in talk of dressmaking and similar crafts.
  • 袵おくみ
    nounChiefly a word for a gusset, especially one in a kimono, with 'gore' as a secondary sense. A less common word, and seldom the one you want for 'gore' itself.
  • 血糊ちのり
    nounThe blood sense of 'gore': clotted blood, sticky clots of blood. When 'gore' refers to blood rather than to a piece of fabric, this is the word — a less common one.

For gore meaning clotted blood, use 血糊; 「ゴア」 is a triangular fabric piece used in making skirts and umbrellas, 袵 a kimono gusset — all three are less common words.
