This adjective refers to anyone whose personality is marked by eager hopefulness, optimism, cheerfulness etc. It can also refer to something related to blood or the colour of blood.
Origin:
During the Middle Ages, one’s health and temperament were associated with bodily fluids such as blood. It was believed that people governed by blood were strong and confident. Over time, the physiological association faded and sanguine came to define people with a cheery and positive disposition. The word sanguine comes from Latin sanguis meaning “of blood”, which gave birth to the French sanguine meaning “blood red”.
