What Wikipedia says

Anatexis (via Latin from Greek roots meaning 'to melt down') is the partial melting of rocks. Traditionally, anatexis is used specifically to discuss the partial melting of crustal rocks, while the generic term "partial melting" refers to the partial melting of all rocks, in both the crust and mantle.
