Answer: hatred

HAT + RED = HATRED

The word 'hatred' does actually come from the combination of the words 'hate' and 'red'. However, the 'red' in hatred is not from the colour, it is derived from the Old English 'rǣden' meaning 'condition'.

RED + RAW = REDRAW

The 2016 film 'Raw' depicts the journey of a young vegetarian girl who goes away to veterinary college and gets a taste for meat. It was directed by the French filmmaker Julia Ducournau.

10. Farmyard noise + RED = attached to the shore

Answer: moored

MOO + RED = MOORED

The word 'moor' means only to keep a boat in the same place, and thus a boat can be described as 'moored' at sea if it is attached to an anchor and is stationary.
