relumev.

Brit.

/rᵻˈl(j)uːm/, U.S.

/rəˈlum/,

/riˈlum/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a Latin lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: re- prefix, illume v.

Etymology: < re- prefix + -lume (in illume v.), perhaps after post-classical Latin reluminare (see relumine v.) or French rallumer (13th cent. in Old French in this sense). It is possible that quot. a1616 at sense 1a may show a compositorial or other misreading for returne (arising by association with illume v. and related words), although it is also possible that this shows a coinage by Shakespeare on the same pattern as illume v. In either case, later use may to a large extent result from echoes and recollections of this passage. Compare later relumine v., and also relumination n.

1. Now rare.

a. transitive. To relight, rekindle (a light, flame, etc.) (literal and figurative); to cause to burn for a second or subsequent time.
