In line 8 of "I Look Into My Glass," the word "equanimity" comes from the Latin aequanimis, meaning "even-minded." The Latin root aequus means "even or level." The root animus most likely means A. mind or spirit. B. animal. C. celestial being. D. kindness.
The correct answer is:
A. mind or spirit.
From Latin animus (“the mind, in a great variety of meanings: the rational soul in man, intellect, consciousness, will, intention, courage, spirit, sensibility, feeling, passion, pride, vehemence, wrath, etc., the breath, life, soul”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe”).
