Word origin

The word 'animated' comes from the Latin word 'animatus', which means 'alive' or 'vibrant'. The term was first used in English in the late 16th century to describe something that was full of life or spirit. Over time, it has evolved to encompass a wide range of meanings, from describing lively characters in movies to giving life to drawings and objects through animation techniques.
