der Bluterguss, ¨-e

The German word "Bluterguss" is a noun that means "bruise" or "hematoma". It is a compound word formed from "Blut" (blood) and "Erguss" (effusion or accumulation). "Bluterguss" refers to the collection of blood outside blood vessels, typically due to injury or trauma, leading to discoloration of the skin. Similar words in German include "Prellung" (contusion) and "Blutung" (bleeding).

While "Prellung" is often used specifically for a milder bruise without major swelling, "Bluterguss" may refer to more significant bleeding into tissues, including bruises resulting from trauma that create larger swelling or complications.
