Morphology
animate = anim + ate
The root 'anim-' is a Latin combining form (not a standalone English word), so the composition anim + -ate is not transparently recoverable by a typical B1 learner.
Etymology
Animate as a verb comes from Latin animare 'to give life', and you can see the same idea in animation. So to animate a picture, puppet, or character is to make it seem alive or move like a living thing.
