可以想成「對血口渴」這個畫面：thirsty 不是普通的想要，是喉嚨發乾、非喝到不可的那種渴。把渴的對象換成血，整個字就立起來了——它講的不是氣到想吵架，而是對流血這件事本身有胃口。這個組合在荷蘭文 bloeddorstig、德文 blutdürstig 裡是同一套，看得出它拼得多直接。From the word’s history
The word is simply blood plus thirsty, with no detour, which is why the picture inside it is still completely visible.
這個字就是 blood 加 thirsty 拼起來的，中間沒有轉彎。所以它的畫面到今天還看得一清二楚，不需要考古就能讀出來。

adjective · C1
Full of killing and fighting, or showing it in detail. You use it about films, books, games and stories, not about the people who made them.
（作品）血腥的
