Moroseness

Mo*rose"ness

, n. Sourness of temper; sulenness.
[1913 Webster]

Learn good humor, never to oppose without just reason; abate some degrees of pride and moroseness.

I. Watts.
[1913 Webster]

Moroseness is not precisely peevishness or fretfulness, though often accompanied with it. It denotes more of silence and severity, or ill-humor, than the irritability or irritation which characterizes peevishness.
[1913 Webster]
