Changeable, volatile (9)
I believe the answer is:
mercurial
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'changeable' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'volatile' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for mercurial that I've seen before include "Changing unpredictably" , "Volatile" , "Temperamental" , "Prone to sudden mood swings" , "Sprightly" .)
