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.
