visceral
의미: Relating to deep, instinctive feelings rather than rational thought; felt in the gut rather than the head. In anatomy, relating to the internal organs of the body, especially those of the abdomen.
Visceral is one of the most fashionable adjectives in contemporary cultural and political commentary. Its figurative sense — a response so immediate and powerful that it seems to bypass the intellect — has largely overshadowed the anatomical one. Film critics praise 'visceral' action sequences; political writers describe 'visceral' public anger. The word implies raw, physical intensity. It collocates with 'visceral reaction,' 'visceral experience,' 'visceral hatred,' and 'visceral impact.'
