We consider the four-fermion Lifshitz model, introduce in this model an auxiliary vector field, and generate an effective dynamics for this field. We explicitly demonstrate that within this dynamics, the effective bumblebee potential for the vector field naturally arises as a one-loop correction and allows for the dynamical breaking of the rotational symmetry.
