entrails
The internal organs in the abdominal and chest cavity of a person or animal, especially the digestive tract. The word is usually used in the plural ('die Eingeweide').
Der Jäger entfernte fachmännisch das Eingeweide des erlegten Wildschweins.
The hunter expertly removed the entrails of the wild boar he had killed.
The word is made up of the prefix 'ein-' (inside) and the old word 'Geweide' for the internal organs. So it literally describes what is located inside the body.
In der Biologie lernt man viel über die Eingeweide von Tieren.
In biology, you learn a lot about the entrails of animals.
The plural form 'die Eingeweide' (the entrails) is almost always used, since it refers to the whole set of internal organs. The singular form 'das Eingeweide' is very rare and sounds abstract or scientific.
Bei der Operation wurden die Eingeweide untersucht.
During the operation, the entrails were examined.
'Eingeweide' (entrails) is a rather technical or graphic term. It is used in biology, medicine, hunting, or in very vivid, often brutal descriptions, but not in everyday language for stomachaches.
Der Tierarzt erklärte die Funktion der Eingeweide eines Pferdes.
The veterinarian explained the function of a horse's entrails.
organ
'das Organ' and 'das Eingeweide' both refer to parts inside the body. 'Organ' is the neutral and precise term for individual body parts with a function, for example the heart, liver, or stomach. 'Eingeweide' usually means several internal organs in the abdominal and chest cavity, especially the digestive tract, and is usually used in the plural. The words can be confused because 'Eingeweide' consist of organs. For medicine or learning, 'Organ' is usually more precise; 'Eingeweide' sounds more general and more physical.
Die Ärztin erklärt, dass die Eingeweide im Bauchraum liegen.
The doctor explains that the entrails are located in the abdominal cavity.
