anima
Comes from Latin 'anima', meaning 'breath, spirit, soul, life force'. It is a feminine noun in Latin and forms the basis for concepts related to inner vitality, consciousness, and psychological energy. Examples include animate, animation, animosity, unanimity, and in Jungian psychology, 'anima' (the unconscious feminine inner personality in men). Core meaning: 'vital spirit or inner driving force'.
