The term “volatile” is employed in literature with a rich diversity of meanings, spanning from the literal description of substances to metaphorical portrayals of character and mood. In scientific or technical contexts, it frequently denotes a quality of rapid evaporation or change, as seen in discussions of liquefied compounds or chemical reactions [1][2][3]. Conversely, writers also extend its reach to depict human temperament and ephemeral emotional states—a neighbor described as volatile, or a youth whose impulsiveness forces them to leave a room—underscoring unpredictability and fleeting spirit [4][5][6]. Moreover, the word is often used figuratively to capture the elusive, ever-changing nature of thought and feeling, lending a dynamic quality to narratives and characters alike [7][8].
