sanguineous
Pertaining to blood
Sanguineous means of, relating to, or containing blood: sanguineous discharge from the wound.
The term appears primarily in medical contexts to describe bloody fluids or tissues.
It can also mean blood-red in color.
The rarer sense of having blood as the dominant bodily humor—and thus being cheerful and optimistic—survives mainly in the related word sanguine.
