Spanish term

embarramiento

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Autopsy
Hola, colegas.

Estoy traduciendo una autopsia. La persona murió por un disparo en la cabeza mientras manejaba.
La frase es: "[...] presencia de tejido hemático con características de embarramiento sobre el volante [...]".
Por el contexto no estoy muy segura de que tenga que ver con barro o lodo...

Muchas gracias de antemano,
Laura

I forgot to include that info. The source text is from Mexico.

@Phil I'm a little skeptical about "smear" here. The meaning "smear" in the reference you cite seems to be more along the lines of "character assassination " smearing, than physical smearing of a liquid or paste-like substance on something solid, like a steering wheel.
Also, the reference locates the "smear" meaning as being from the Caribbean & the Southern Cone, so it might be interesting to know where the source text is from, Laura.

caking, i.e. like caked mud
