Origin:
The word "sanguine" originally referred to the color of blood, which was considered to be a symbol of good health and vitality. In ancient times, physicians believed that a person's personality and temperament were influenced by the balance of bodily fluids, including blood.
People with a sanguine temperament were thought to have an abundance of blood, which made them cheerful, optimistic, and impulsive. Over time, the term "sanguine" came to be associated more broadly with these personality traits.
In the 18th century, the word "sanguine" began to be used in art to describe a drawing technique using reddish-brown chalk or crayon. The term also applies to the resulting drawing, which typically depicts figures with a warm, lifelike appearance.
