Etymology
From Proto-Tocharian *āñc(ä)me (whence also Tocharian A āñcäm), probably from a form of Proto-Indo-European *h₂en(h₁)tmen-, from *h₂enh₁- (“breathe”), the same source as anāsk- (“to breathe”), onolme (“creature, person”), and añiye (“breath”). Cognate with Sanskrit आत्मन् (ātman, “breath”), Old High German ātum (“breath”)) and, from the nominal derivative *h₂enh₁mos, Latin animus (“mind, soul”), anima, Ancient Greek ἄνεμος (ánemos, “wind, breeze”), Old Armenian անձն (anjn, “person”), and possibly Sanskrit अनिल (anila, “air, wind”)).
