Anthropomorphic comes from the Late Latin word
anthropomorphus, which itself traces to a Greek term birthed from the roots
anthrōp- (meaning "human being") and
-morphos (
-morphous). Those ancient Greek roots have given form and personality to many English words.
Anthrōp- relatives include
anthropic ("relating to human beings or the period of their existence on earth"),
anthropocentric ("interpreting or regarding the world in terms of human values
and experiences"),
anthropoid ("an ape"), and
anthropology ("the study of human beings and their ancestors"). Derivatives of
-morphos often end in
-morphism, as in
polymorphism ("the quality or state of existing in or assuming different forms"), or
-morphic, as in
biomorphic ("resembling the forms of living organisms").
