Brit. /ɪˈl(j)uːm/, U.S. /ɪˈlum/
Etymology: A poetical shortening of illumine v.: compare relume, also used by Shakespeare. Perhaps influenced by French allumer, rallumer (Old French alumer, ralumer), also Old French enlumer, of which the stem -lumer came through *-lumner, < Latin -lūmināre.
= illumine v.: almost exclusively poetic.
