The word "person" in "personification" suggests the act of attributing human characteristics or qualities to non-human entities or abstract concepts. By incorporating the notion of a person, it implies that these entities are being described or treated as if they possess human traits, emotions, or behaviors. This connection helps clarify that personification involves giving life-like qualities to inanimate objects or ideas.

An example of it is giving a human animal characteristics, such as, "I dug into my food like a bear killing its prey." Or you could give a person the characteristics of an object, although this is much more difficult. Something like, "I sat there; motionless, like memories in a picture frame." These are just some minor examples of what you can do with backwards personification.
It is called using context clues to determine the meaning of a word.
