nonchalant(adj.)
1734, from French nonchalant, present participle of nonchaloir, (13c.), from non + chaloir "have concern for"
ultimately from Latin calere "be hot"
The French word for anger is colère so I thought maybe it's related to calere. It's apparently from the Latin word cholera, like, the disease. Most romance languages also seem to use cholera as the basis for their version of "anger".
I guess that gives a new meaning to "hot and bothered" (or just its original, more literal meaning? idk)
