 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Lie derivative
For an ordinary function f, the Lie derivative is just the contraction of the exterior derivative with the vector field X: In mathematics, the exterior derivative operator of differential topology, extends the concept of the differential of a function to differential forms of higher degree.
The Lie derivative of a vector field is the Lie bracket.
The Lie derivatives are represented by vector fields, as infinitesimal generators of flows (active diffeomorphisms) on M. The Lie derivative of a function is the directional derivative of the function.

Lie means to recline, and lay means to put or to place.
An easy way to tell the difference is that lay is a transitive verb (requires a subject and object, such as “I lifted the bag” or “She punished him”) and so requires an object.
Lie on the other had is an intransitive verb (doesn’t take an object).

The global structure of a Lie group is in general not completely determined by its Lie algebra; for example, if Z is any discrete subgroup of the center of G then G and G/Z have the same Lie algebra (see the table of Lie groups for examples).

It had been chosen because, in the generalization of Lie algebras to Loday algebras, it is the derivation property of the adjoint mappings, analogous to the Leibniz rule in elementary calculus, that is preserved, while the skew-symmetry of the bracket is not.
However, it has been shown [a1], [a8] that in many instances it is necessary to consider both a bracket and an associative multiplication defined on the same space, and to impose a  "Leibniz rule"  relating both operations, stating that the adjoint mappings are derivations of the associative multiplication.
The operad associated to the notion of Loday algebra is a Koszul operad [a6].

 Re: Rare Lie Brackets Reinterpret the Uncertainty Principle
The first condition is satisfied by the Rare Lie bracket since [x, y] = y - x so [x, x] = x - x = 0, so [x, y] = -[y, x] = -(y - x).
The extra term in the modifications 2', 4', 5' is always a bracket with one generally nonzero argument and one zero argument.
The zero argument is on the right for left-linearity (left bilinearity) and on the left for right-linearity (right bilinearity), while in the case of three left argument nonzero bracket arguments the "letter" elements of the bracket are summed in the left argument of the extra term (as in (2')).

 Differentiating Lie Groupoids to Lie Algebroids | The n-Category Café
However, maybe somewhat surprisingly, the standard definition of a Lie algebroid has an appearence which is nowhere close to the simple elegance of the definition of a Lie groupoid.
But the analogous step on the Lie algebroid side – which surely ought to exist – is, when using the standard definition of a Lie algebroid, quite non-obvious.
A nice language for all of this is Koszul duality, which is a fancy way to explain passing from a Lie algebra to the ring of functions on the corresponding group near the identity – ie from Lie things to commutative things, and vice versa.
