haemorrhage
Uncontrolled blood loss
Haemorrhage is the British spelling of hemorrhage—heavy bleeding, especially from a ruptured blood vessel.
The verb means to bleed profusely: She haemorrhaged after the surgery.
Figuratively, to haemorrhage money, talent, or resources is to lose them rapidly and uncontrollably: The company was haemorrhaging cash.
