单词 relumine
释义

reluminev.

Brit. /rᵻˈl(j)uːmɪn/, U.S. /rəˈlumən/, /riˈlumən/
Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin reluminare ; re- prefix, lumine v.
Etymology: Either < post-classical Latin reluminare to restore sight to (late 2nd cent. in Tertullian) < classical Latin re- re- prefix + lūmināre luminate v., or < re- prefix + either lumine v. or -lumine (in illumine v., enlumine v., etc.), probably originally as an alteration of relume v. in editions of Othello (see quot. 1630). Compare earlier relumination n.
Now rare.
