'anthropomorph' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anthrōpomorphos,' where 'anthrōpos' meant 'human' and 'morphē' meant 'form.'

'anthrōpomorphos' transformed into the Latin word 'anthropomorphus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'anthropomorph.'

Initially, it meant 'having human form,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a being or object given human characteristics.'
