The word "livid" typically describes someone who is extremely angry or furious. It can also refer to a color that is a bluish-gray, sometimes used in the context of bruising. In a more literary sense, it conveys a sense of outrage or intense emotion.
The word "livid" comes from the Latin word "lividus," which means "bluish" or "a color of a bruise." Over time, it evolved in Middle English to refer more generally to a state of anger and also retained its association with a pale or bluish hue.
