choleric
의미: Easily angered or bad-tempered; historically, one of the four temperaments, associated with irritability and an excess of yellow bile.
Choleric is a literary and formal word for someone quick to anger. It carries a somewhat archaic flavour, connecting the person described to the medieval theory of the four humours. It is used in biographical writing, literary criticism, and historical accounts, and implies a habitual temperament rather than a momentary outburst. The word is more common in written English than in speech.
