08-27-2023-1636 - draft (animus, latin, formulation, causes a subject (to act or to behave (in a particular manner)), mens, finis, new york, 1879, 1934, 1894, Macmillan and Co., affect, effect, Usage notes Latin animus has a broad and disparate semantic field of apparent incongruity. At its most basic, animus means "that which animates" a thing, making that thing alive and/or causing it to act and behave in a particular way. It is this meaning which ties the disparate senses of animus together and renders them commensurate. Subsumed under this basic meaning are: the power which renders life itself, the mind both rational (the intellect) and emotional (the affect), individual rational thoughts (products of the intellect), emotions (products of the affect, both generally and specifically), motivations with both internal and external etiologies, the purposes and intentions which derive from thoughts and emotions, general dispositions, and instantaneous mental states., etc., draft)
