Temperament [tern' ' -per-am-ent) [temperamentum]. 

 A term vaguely applied to the predominance of one

 or black bile ; the predominance of any one resulting 

 respectively in a sanguine, lymphatic, bilious, or 

 melancholic temperament. Although the doctrine of 

 the temperaments has long since lost its significance, 

 it is generally admitted that an individual may have 

 a predisposition to types of mental action not im- 

 properly classed as nervous, phlegmatic, lymphatic, 

 etc. T., Bilious, that marked by a predominance of 

 bile ; persons of this type having sallow complexions,
