Meaning of "unanimate" in English

"Unanimate" is not a widely recognized standard word in the English language. It appears to be an erroneous construction or a very rarely used term, possibly aiming to describe a lack of animation or liveliness in something, usually inanimate. Since "animate" means something alive or lively, "unanimate" might be intended to suggest a state lacking these qualities. When used, it could imply something that is dull, lacking energy, or vitality. However, there is no definitive meaning as it is not found in major dictionaries.
