About This Root
From Latin viscera (internal organs, bowels), plural of viscus. Visceral means relating to the internal organs, or more commonly, a deep gut-level feeling rather than intellectual reasoning. Eviscerate means to remove the internal organs — literally or figuratively to gut something. Viscosity (thickness of fluids) may share a distant connection through the idea of internal substance.
