short-fused

日本語でも怒りが爆発することを切れると言いますが、Reader's Digest 12月号の記事、WHY SO ANGRY? に出てきた英語の表現は日本語の切れると発想は同じです。
Short-fused drivers experience more anger, anxiety and act impulsively.
They are more likely to get in the car angry - perhaps from work or home stress.
"Short-fused" は「切れ易い」、「短気な」の意味だと直ぐに分かりますが、辞書で確認します。
辞書の項目として "Short-fused" は見つかりませんが、名詞の "short fuse" の説明はありました。
・Collins Dictionary: (informal) a quick temper: Ernest had a short fuse and a very nasty temper she was careful not to inflame.
