- blow
- blow: There are three distinct blows in English. The commonest, the verb ‘send out air’ [OE], can be traced back to an Indo-European base *bhlā-. It came into English (as Old English blāwan) via Germanic *blǣ-, source also of bladder. The Indo-European base also produced Latin flāre ‘blow’, from which English gets flatulent and inflate.
The other verb blow, ‘come into flower’ [OE], now archaic, comes ultimately from Indo-European *bhlō-. It entered English (as Old English blōwan) via Germanic *blo-, from which English also gets bloom and probably blade. A variant form of the Indo-European base with -s- produced Latin flōs (source of English flower) and English blossom.
The noun blow ‘hard hit’ [15] is altogether more mysterious. It first appears, in the form blaw, in northern and Scottish texts, and it has been connected with a hypothetical Germanic *bleuwan ‘strike’.
=> bladder, flatulent, inflate; blade, bloom, blossom, flower

anim-（生命）：代表生命之源的灵魂
古代人认为生命的本质是因为灵魂的存在。在拉丁文中，灵魂分为阴性和阳性两个单词， 既阴性的anima（阿尼玛）和阳性的animus（阿尼姆斯）。表示生命的词根anim就来自这两个拉丁文。由于生命和灵魂密不可分，所有词根anim 既有“生命”、“动”的含义，也有“精神”、“心”的含义。
animal：['ænɪm(ə)l] n.动物，有生命能动的。
animation：[,ænɪ'meʃən]n.动画，原意是使其具有生命，使其动起来。
unanimous：[juː'nænɪməs]adj.全体一致的。记：un词根uni（唯一）的变形+anim心+ous形容词后缀→只有一个心，也就是万众一心，所有人的想法都一样。
equanimity：[,ɛkwə'nɪməti]n.（心情）平静坦然。记：equ相等+anim心+ity名词后缀→心情平衡，没有波动。
