Morphology

unfavorite = favorite (transparent) = un + favorite

A direct negation of the verb 'favorite' using the productive prefix 'un-', meaning 'to remove from favorites'.

Etymology

Unfavorite is formed from un- ('remove' or 'not') plus favorite ('most liked'), so on websites and apps to unfavorite something is to take it out of your favorites list — to stop marking it as liked.
