Is motus animi (motion/disturbance of the mind) right? or is it better translated as animi affectus (disposition/state of the mind)? It seems Spinoza called emotions affectus [http://la.wikisource.org/wiki/Ethica_-_Pars_tertia_-_De_origine_et_natura_affectuum]...--[[Specialis:Conlationes/71.87.208.246|71.87.208.246]] 13:02, 18 Februarii 2009 (UTC)
:The complete definition of ''emotion'' in Cassell's is: "''animi motus'' (''-ūs''), or ''adfectus'' (''-ūs''), or ''commotio'' or ''concitatio,''" so all four possibilities are Classical. Spinoza was a latecomer to the vocabulary, but using just plain ''adfectus'' for ''animi adfectus'' would seem to be fully in keeping with the way languages work; also, it leads directly to the modern English noun ''affect.''
