A Legend Related to the System
Gut has been with us
for a very long time,
coming into modern English from the old
English guttas
which is a collective plural,
as is our guts
The earliest sense of guts
was bowels
or entrails
and while the word has picked
up a number of other meanings
over the
past thousand or so years,
many of them
deal in some way
with this area of the
body,
either literally
or figuratively
Your guts
may be your digestive tract
your belly
the inner workings of a thing
or the basic visceral
or emotional part
of a person
Catgut,
a tough thin cord
made from the
treated and stretched
intestines of certain
animals
especially sheep
is used for
stringing musical instruments and tennis
rackets
and for surgical ligatures and
sutures
The ancient Egyptians
and Babylonians
and the
later Greeks and Romans
used the intestines of
animals
for much the same purposes
The origin
of the term catgut is obscure,
it is not known if
the intestines of cats
were ever put to such uses
