B D Finch May 18, 2017:
Word blindness! Amazing evidence of how one sees what one thinks is there, rather than what is really there: I only just noticed the very apt "drainwig" in the question, having read it as "drawing". Does trying to understand "forensic crimson" really drain one's wig?

pourpre médico-légale

Il s'agit d'une suggestion sur la base de ce document :

"En terme médico-légal, on appelle « purpura » des hémorragies dermiques de petites tailles, multiples et disséminées sur une zone en taches pourpres."

Peer comment(s):
neutral B D Finch : How do you link "purpura" either to the French translation you suggest, or to the English source term "forensic crimson"? Also, note that "purpura" (Latin?) is a forensic medical term used in both English and French.

Purpura en latin se traduit bien par pourpre, pourprier. Ce terme a été employé en médecine justement pour qualifier ces zones en taches pourpres. Etym. : Du lat. purpura « pourprier; couleur, vêtement d'un rouge foncé; (Trésor de la langue française)
