a weather system you wear, forecasting nothing and explaining everything
means A temporary emotional state that colors how you feel and act for a stretch of time.
from From Old English 'mod,' which meant something far grander than today's passing funk — it covered the mind, heart, courage, and spirit all at once. It's a cousin of German 'Mut' (courage) and shares deep Germanic roots about the inner life. Over centuries the word shrank inward, trading 'the whole soul's temper' for 'how you happen to feel right now.'
