The verb gouge means to "dig out".

It can be applied to digging a trench, or to using your fingers on someone's eyes in a fight.

In slang usage, to gouge somebody means to cheat them by charging a high price, as if you were digging into their wallets. "Price gouging", raising prices during a shortage, is restricted by laws in many locations.
