The answer
LIVID
What livid means
Extremely angry or furious, often to the point of being unable to control one's emotions or reactions.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *lividus*, meaning "bluish" or "black-and-blue," derived from *livere*, "to be black or blue." The word originally described bruises or discolored skin, then extended to describe an angry, flushed complexion. English borrowed it in the 1600s, eventually generalizing it to mean intensely angry or furious, though the sense of a pale, grayish color persists in some contexts.
