means A fit of sulky, offended anger, usually shown by stomping off or going silent rather than saying what's actually wrong.

from Huff started as a word for a puff or gust of breath — the literal sound of someone exhaling sharply in annoyance. By the 1600s it had puffed up into a noun for wounded pride itself, as if indignation were just air building up pressure until it had to escape. The related 'huff and puff' (as in blowing a house down) comes from the same breathy root, though that phrase traveled its own separate path into folklore.
