Livid has two distinct meanings that can cause confusion. In everyday British English, it overwhelmingly means furiously angry ('she was absolutely livid'). In medical and literary contexts, it retains its older meaning of a dark, bluish-lead colour, as seen in bruises or the complexion of someone in extreme cold. The anger sense now dominates in speech and informal writing.

'livid'有两个不同的含义，容易引起混淆。在日常英式英语中，它绝大多数表示怒不可遏（'she was absolutely livid'）。在医学和文学语境中，它保留了较古老的暗青铅色含义，如淤伤或极度寒冷中的面色。愤怒的含义如今在口语和非正式写作中占主导地位。

Livid tiene dos significados diferenciados que pueden causar confusión. En el inglés británico cotidiano, significa abrumadoramente furioso ('she was absolutely livid'). En contextos médicos y literarios, conserva su acepción más antigua de un color plomizo oscuro y azulado, como el de los hematomas o la tez bajo un frío extremo. El sentido de ira domina hoy en el habla y la escritura informal.

「livid」には混乱を招きうる二つの異なる意味がある。日常的なイギリス英語では、圧倒的に「激怒している」の意味で使われる（'she was absolutely livid'）。医学的・文学的な文脈では、あざや極度の寒さの際の顔色に見られるような、暗い青みがかった鉛色という古い意味を保持している。怒りの意味が現在では会話や非公式な文章で主流である。

livid에는 혼동을 일으킬 수 있는 두 가지 뚜렷한 의미가 있다. 일상적인 영국 영어에서는 압도적으로 극도로 화가 난 상태를 의미한다('she was absolutely livid'). 의학 및 문학적 맥락에서는 멍이나 극심한 추위에 처한 사람의 안색에서 볼 수 있는 어두운 청납색이라는 원래 의미를 유지한다. 현재 구어와 비격식 글쓰기에서는 분노의 의미가 지배적이다.

Origen e historia

From Latin lividus (bluish, lead-coloured), from livere (to be bluish). Entered English in the 17th century with the colour sense. The 'angry' meaning developed in the early 20th century, possibly from the idea of being so angry as to turn blue or purple.
