Lewis & Short

Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

ănĭmātor, ōris, m. [animo], he that quickens or animates (post-class., oftenest in the Church fathers): animarum, Tert. Apol. 48; so Prud. στεφ. 10, 788.
Trop.: marmoris signifex animator, Capitol. 1, p. 13.
