The two definitions of "anime" are homographs (words spelled the same) with completely different origins and meanings. 1. The animation sense is a shortening of the Japanese word animeshiyon, which was borrowed from the English word "animation." 2. The resin sense comes from the French animé (meaning "animated" or "living"), which was applied to certain resins, possibly from a misconception about their origin.
