The word "animal" comes from the Latin animalis, meaning 'having breath', 'having soul' or 'living being'.[4] The biological definition includes all members of the kingdom Animalia.[5] In colloquial usage, the term animal is often used to refer only to nonhuman animals.[6][7][8][9] The term "metazoa" is derived from the Ancient Greek μετα (meta, meaning "later") and ζῷᾰ (zōia, plural of ζῷον zōion, meaning animal).
