ensanguinated means covered in blood; made bloody.
Why “ensanguinated” is a great word
Covered or drenched in blood. From the prefix en- ("to cause to be") + Latin sanguis, sanguin- ("blood") + the adjectival suffix -ated. Unlike “bloodstained,” which suggests incidental spots or smears, or “gory,” which revels in visceral horror, “ensanguinated” is clinical and complete. It is the butcher’s apron after a full day’s work, the surgeon’s gloves after a long operation, the battlefield at dawn where dew and blood become indistinguishable—a word for when blood is not an accident but a condition, a quiet saturation that speaks of a final, irreversible act.
