Humors

Humors

Can anyone tell me the meaning of the word "Humors" as used in the title of Irish traditional songs? I looked in previous threads regarding "Humors" and found nothing.

Thanks,
Dcn Ron

Re: Humors

Humors would be the temperament,characteristic or disposition of something; its "mood".
