Translation of ״זעיר אנפין״ as "The Impatient One"

+2

In the Seder Oneg Shabbos Bentcher the translation for ״זעיר אנפין״ is "The Impatient One". What's the basis of this translation? Sources that support the reading would be appreciated.

I don't know any kabbalah, but, for what it's worth, "זעיר אנפין" is almost a word-for-word translation of "קצר אפים", which sounds a lot like the opposite of "ארך אפים", which means "patience".

I added the name and link to the work. For the record, I'm not affiliated and get no benefit from sales. (But I love this bentcher.)
