Origin

Middle English: from Old French beste, based on Latin bestia.

animal from Middle English:
Animals are so called simply because they breathe. The word, used as an adjective in English before the noun became established, originally described any living being, as opposed to something inanimate. Its source is the Latin word animalis, ‘having the breath of life’, from anima ‘air, breath, life’. As a noun, the word was hardly used in England before the end of the 16th century—the older beast (Middle English) from Latin besta was the usual term—and does not appear in the King James Bible of 1611. Animate (Late Middle English) is also from anima. See also mesmerize
