Simplified etymology

Entrails comes through Old French entrailles from medieval Latin intralia, an alteration of Latin interanea, “internal things.” The Latin formation is based on inter, “among,” and the word’s underlying sense is “insides.”

From Middle English entraille, entrailles, from Old French entrailles, from Vulgar Latin intrālia, from Latin interānea, from interāneus, from inter. Compare Spanish entraña.
