curée

quarry (part of the entrails of a hunted animal, given to the hounds); spoils; a scramble for the spoils, a free-for-all vicious attack

From Old French cuiriee, of disputed origin. Some link back to Latin cor (“heart”) because the entrails include the animal's internal organs, while some link back to corium because of the hide of the animal.
