Take the word 'animation' from English. Put it in Japanese, it becomes アニメーション /a ni mee shon/ (mee is read like men but with longer 'e' sound). That is the Japanese word for'cartoon, animation'.. it's inserted from English. Then through common usage it becomes short to アニメ /a ni me/ and the term becomes widespread as Japanese anime gains popularity worldwide.
