gashes
Wounds needing stitches
Gashes is the plural of gash—a deep, long cut or wound, typically jagged rather than clean: The fall left gashes on his knees.
Gash extends to any deep slash or opening: gashes in the hull, gashes in the earth.
As a verb form, gashes means inflicts such wounds: The broken glass gashes his palm.
