Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'relating to the humour phlegm'): from Old French fleumatique, via Latin from Greek phlegmatikos, from phlegma 'inflammation' (see phlegm).

According to the medieval doctrine of the four humours (see humour) an excess of phlegm made people stolidly calm. The root of phlegm (Middle English), and so of phlegmatic, is Greek phlegma ‘inflammation’, formed from phlegein ‘to burn’. Phlegmatic had acquired the sense ‘calm and self-possessed’ by the late 16th century.
