Morphology

hot-mouthed = hot + mouth (transparent) = hot + mouth + ed

The adjective is formed from the compound 'hot' + 'mouth' with the adjectival suffix '-ed', yielding the clear meaning 'having a hot (impassioned) way of speaking'.

Etymology

Hot-mouthed joins hot ('angry' or 'full of strong feeling') and mouth ('the part of your face you use to speak'), so you can imagine words that are like hot fire. That's why a hot-mouthed person speaks quickly and often angrily or with strong feeling.
