English-Sanguine

Sanguine is being confident and hopeful, despite being in a difficult situation.
Sanguine is from Latin word sanguis meaning "blood". It originally meant "bloody".
In medieval medicine it described someone whose ruddy complexion( healthy red colour of a person's face) was a sign of an optimistic outlook.

She is sanguine about her bright married life despite having reservations about in-laws family.
