Morphology

eviscerate = viscera (opaque) = e + viscer + ate

This formation is historically related to 'viscera', but the learned medical base and affix pattern are unlikely to be recoverable for an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Eviscerate comes from Latin e- 'out' and viscera 'internal organs', so used as an adjective it describes a body that has had its organs taken out.
