Etymology 1

From Средњи Енглески animal, from Стари Француски animal, from Латински animal, a nominal use of an adjective from animale, neuter of animālis, from anima (“breath, spirit”). Displaced native Middle English deor, der (“animal”) (from Стари Енглески dēor (“animal”)), Средњи Енглески reother (“animal, neat”) (from Стари Енглески hrīþer, hrȳþer (“neat, ox”)).

     Ancient nomads, wishing to ward off the evening chill and enjoy a meal around a campfire, had to collect wood and then spend time and effort coaxing the heat of friction out from between sticks to kindle a flame. With more settled people, animals were harnessed to capstans or caged in treadmills to turn grist into meal.
