haemorrhaging
Losing blood fast
Haemorrhaging is the British spelling of hemorrhaging—bleeding heavily or uncontrollably.
Blood haemorrhages from a wound; a patient haemorrhages after surgery.
Figuratively, to haemorrhage is to lose something rapidly and damagingly: The company is haemorrhaging money, The party haemorrhaged voters after the scandal.
