Surface Forms

gutted positive

Morphology

gutted = gut (opaque) = gut + ed

The word 'gutted' is derived from 'gut' + 'ed', but the meaning of being extremely disappointed is idiomatic and not directly derived from the physical meaning of 'gut'.

Etymology

Gutted comes from the common word gut, which means 'inside' or 'intestines'. So a helpful way to remember the emotional use is to imagine feeling empty or hollow inside after a big loss, which is why being gutted means very disappointed or upset.
