"dumb"

Documentation

Value to use for TERM when the system uses terminfo.

If the system's terminfo database contains a definition for the
"dumb-emacs-ansi" terminal (as all recent versions of terminfo do),
set this to "dumb-emacs-ansi" and then some terminfo-aware programs will send colorized output when run under Comint.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 26.1.

View in manual

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 26.1.
