Etymology
The word anthropomorphic comes from Greek parts anthropo- meaning 'human' and -morphic meaning 'form' or 'shape', the same anthropo- you see in anthropology. So, to call animals or objects anthropomorphic is to give them human form or human qualities, like talking animals or objects with faces.
