inactivate
v 1: release from military service or remove from the active
list of military service [synonym: {demobilize}, {inactivate},
{demobilise}] [ant: {call up}, {mobilise}, {mobilize},
{rally}]
2: make inactive; "they deactivated the file" [synonym:
{inactivate}, {deactivate}] [ant: {activate}]

inactivate \inactivate\ v. t. [imp. & p. p. {inactivated}; p.
pr. & vb. n. {inactivating}.]
to make inactive; as, boiling will inactivate most enzymes;
acetylation of the antibiotic inactivated it.

Syn: deactivate.
[WordNet 1.5 PJC]

Note: To inactivate an enzyme or chemical usually renders it
permanently inactive; to inactivate a machine (as by
turning a switch) may be reversible, and for machines
and devices, the term {deactivate} is usually used. The
distinction is worth preserving.
[PJC]
