To expose to air or wind; to ventilate.
From Greek 'anemos' (wind) + '-ize' (to cause or make). A rare technical verb from scientific literature meaning to subject to air circulation.
This obscure verb shows how scientific terminology was being created—18th-century scientists needed words for new experimental procedures, so they literally borrowed 'wind' from Greek and made it a verb.
