choler in medieval science and medicine, one of the four bodily
humours, identified with bile, believed to be associated with a peevish or irascible, or
choleric, temperament. Also known as
yellow bile.
Recorded from late Middle English (also denoting diarrhoea), the word comes from Old French
colere ‘bile, anger’, from Latin
cholera ‘diarrhoea’ (from Greek
kholera), which in late Latin acquired the senses ‘bile or anger’, from Greek
kholē ‘bile’.
