Question

anthropomorphic The old, diseased tree had always been like a companion to her, though she didn't really approve of such anthropomorphic feelings. ˌænθrəpəˈmɔrfɪk

Accepted Answer

(1) Having or described as having human form or traits. (2) Seeing human traits in nonhuman things. Anthropomorphic means a couple of different things. In its first sense, an anthropomorphic cup is a cup in the shape of a human, and anthropomorphic gods are human in appearance—like the Greek and Roman gods, for example, even though Socrates and others believed that their fellow Greeks had created the gods in their own image rather than the other way around. In its second sense, the animal characters in Aesop's fables are anthropomorphic since they all have human feelings and thoughts even though they don't look like humans. Thus, when the fox calls the grapes sour simply because they're out of reach, it's a very human response. Thousands of years after Aesop, anthropomorphism is still alive and well, in the animal stories of Beatrix Potter, George Orwell's Animal Farm, and hundreds of cartoons and comic strips
