fieriness
Heat of temperament
Fieriness is the quality of being fiery—intense heat, passionate emotion, or volatile temperament.
It describes both literal burning intensity and metaphorical ardor: the fieriness of her temper, the fieriness of the jalapeño.
The word often carries a note of admiration for spirit or vigor, though it can suggest someone is quick to anger.
