Temperament
Definition:
(v. t.) Internal constitution; state with respect to the relative proportion of different qualities, or constituent parts.
(v. t.) Due mixture of qualities; a condition brought about by mutual compromises or concessions.
(v. t.) The act of tempering or modifying; adjustment, as of clashing rules, interests, passions, or the like; also, the means by which such adjustment is effected.

(v. t.)
