splenetic



splenetic
(adj)

(spluh-net-ik)

"bad tempered, peevish"

I am feeling very splenetic today - I didn't get enough sleep last night and I am getting the run around today. 

While I had a feeling it may have been derived from the latin word for spleen - why does spleen mean bad tempered?
