  "etymology_text": "From dzīvs (“alive”) + -nieks, or perhaps dzīv(ot) (“to live”) + -nieks. The original meaning of this word was “living person,” “inhabitant” (now dzīvotājs, iedzīvotājs). The modern meaning of “animal” or “living being” first appeared in the 1860s, in writings by J. Alunāns, following the model of Russian живо́тное (živótnoje), and was registered in dictionaries in the 1870s. Formerly other expressions had been used for this meaning (e.g. dzīvs radījums (“living creature”), or also more specific terms like lops (“farm animal”) or zvērs (“beast”)).",

  "etymology_text": "From dzīvs (“alive”) + -nieks, or perhaps dzīv(ot) (“to live”) + -nieks. The original meaning of this word was “living person,” “inhabitant” (now dzīvotājs, iedzīvotājs). The modern meaning of “animal” or “living being” first appeared in the 1860s, in writings by J. Alunāns, following the model of Russian живо́тное (živótnoje), and was registered in dictionaries in the 1870s. Formerly other expressions had been used for this meaning (e.g. dzīvs radījums (“living creature”), or also more specific terms like lops (“farm animal”) or zvērs (“beast”)).",
