Greetings! We appreciate your coming back, especially given the punishment you've been having to endure this week. But we're warning you, it's only going to get worse!
BRUISE あざをつくる、あざ

by something hard, causing bleeding beneath the surface of the skin
so that the area appears blue, purple, or otherwise darkish in color.
The darkish area is called a bruise. - bruise は、体の一部を何かに強くぶつけたときに、皮下出血し、その部分が青くなったり紫になったり濃い色になったりする――つまり、あざをつくる、という意味です。
名詞の bruise は、皮膚が濃い色になった部分、つまり、あざ、という意味です。
