animatedly の語源・成り立ち Etymology

animatedly は animated+-ly で、animate はラテン語 animare(生命を与える)にさかのぼり、その元の anima は「息・魂」を意味しました。つまり「魂や活気が入ったように」が核で、「活発に、いきいきと」という意味になります。関連語は animate、animal。

Animatedly comes from animated plus the adverb ending -ly. Animated goes back to Latin animare, "to give life," from anima, meaning "breath" or "soul." The central idea is being filled with life or spirit, which led to the sense of doing something in a lively way. Related words include animate and animal.
