A quick definition of animo:

ANIMO is a Latin term that has different meanings depending on the context. It can refer to ill will or animosity towards a particular group of people, which is called class-based animus. ANIMO can also mean intention, such as the intention to steal, donate, or cancel something. In Roman law, ANIMO was used to determine a person's intent to possess or own something. Additionally, ANIMO can be part of legal phrases that describe a person's intention to act in a certain way, such as the intention to kill or harm someone. ANNATES and ANNATS are related terms that refer to the same thing: the payment made to the Pope by a bishop upon their appointment to a new diocese. Lastly, ANNEX is a noun that means something attached to another thing, such as a document or an addition to a building.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A Latin term that refers to the intention or motive behind an action or decision.

Examples:

  • Animus furandi: The intention to steal. This phrase is used in criminal law to describe the mental state of a person who intends to take someone else's property without permission.
  • Animus testandi: The intention to make a will. This phrase is used in estate planning to describe the mental state of a person who is creating a legal document that outlines how their assets will be distributed after their death.
  • Animus possidendi: The intention to possess something. This phrase is used in Roman law to describe the mental state of a person who intends to exercise control over a thing, whether rightfully or wrongfully.

These examples illustrate how animo is used to describe the mental state or intention behind a particular action or decision. Understanding a person's animo can be important in legal contexts, as it can help determine whether their actions were lawful or not.
