    It's whetting, not wetting.

    The word whet means "to sharpen" with the most common usage being in reference to sharpening a blade. That is where the name for a whetstone comes from.
    The other usage, which is a little more archaic, is in reference to appetite, like in the phrase "to whet ones' appetite", meaning to "sharpen"/increase ones' appetite.

    "Bloodwhetting" is just a playful usage of the word that implies an appetite for blood while also referencing the sharpening of a blade, like the one on their axe.
    I also wouldn't be surprised if it was intentionally made to sound like bloodletting, which is the old practice of carefully draining a persons' blood thinking that it would cure them of different ailments and/or reinvigorate them by getting rid of the "bad blood" from the body.
