Four humors

For example, in the middle ages people tried to explain the world as balances of the four humors—earth, air, fire, and water.

Hello, teachers! Can you tell me if "humor" in this context is a synonym for "element"?
If not, what does "humor" mean?

Thank you!

Yes, it must mean that (classical elements, of course, not modern elements).
