entlieben

From ent- (“un-, dis-”) +‎ lieben (“to love”). Attested since at least the 17th century, but usually in translation or as an ad-hoc antonym of verlieben. Not in the older dictionaries. Somewhat more regular use seems to begin only in the later 20th century.

   • 2017, Simone Meier, Fleisch, Kein & Aber, page 22:

     Das war gestern gewesen. Und heute war er sich sicher, dass er sich von Anna entliebt hatte.

     That had been yesterday. And today he was sure that he'd fallen out of love with Anna.

• The verb is generally understood, but fairly infrequent. It is usually more natural to express the notion differently (e.g. ich bin nicht mehr verliebt, liebe nicht mehr, meine Verliebtheit/Liebe ist weg, etc.).
