Etymology
The word 'sanguinely' originates from the Latin word 'sanguin', which means 'blood'. This Latin term is derived from 'sanguis', meaning blood. The connection to blood in this context comes from the medieval belief that the temperament of a person was influenced by bodily fluids. People thought that a sanguine temperament, associated with a blood-rich constitution, was characterized by a sociable, lively, and carefree disposition. This etymological relationship highlights humanity's historical inclination to link physical states with personality traits. 'Sanguinely' began to appear in English texts around the 17th century, reflecting the influence of classical ideas on Elizabethan and later literature. Over time, the word evolved to represent a broader sense of hopefulness and positivity, especially when faced with challenges.
