irascible
意味: Having or showing a tendency to be easily angered; hot-tempered by nature rather than by occasion.
Irascible describes a settled temperamental tendency rather than a momentary mood. An irascible person is one who habitually loses their temper, often over minor provocations. The word is formal and literary, and frequently appears in biographical and obituary writing. It can be used with grudging affection — an irascible genius, an irascible but brilliant teacher.
