BLOODGUILTINESS — [Noun] The state or condition of being guilty of having shed blood or killed someone. From bloodguilty ("guilty of bloodshed") + -ness ("state or condition"). Unlike "bloodguilt" (which refers to the guilt itself) or "remorse" (which denotes a feeling of regret), bloodguiltiness is the indelible stain of culpability, a weight not of emotion but of fact. It is the unwashed hands of Lady Macbeth, the silent dread of a hunter who has taken more than he needed, the cold ledger of a war criminal’s crimes—not sorrow, not penance, but the inescapable truth of what has been done.
