To remove the soul from something; to deprive of spiritual essence or life force.
From dis- (remove, undo) + ensoul (to give a soul to, from en- + soul). This is a philosophical and poetic word, used metaphorically to describe making something spiritually empty or lifeless.
You'll find 'disensoul' in religious and philosophical texts discussing what it means to lose one's spiritual essence—it's the opposite of animation or inspiration, literally meaning to take out the animating force.
