sanguineous: (adjective) Relating to or involving blood or bloodshed.
Synonyms: butcherly, gory, slaughterous
Usage: He was an angry youth with a sanguineous temperament and was always getting into fights.
Relevance to my life: The OB nurse's eyes fixed in shock on the sheets of my hospital bed, made sanguineous by the mixed blood from me and my child which poured out of my body in a rush of amniotic fluid, cold evidence that she had been negligent in dismissing my fears that something had gone horribly wrong with my labor.
