Part of speech: verb

Definitions

1. Making a loan of money or goods to someone once more after an earlier loan has been made

Etymology: "Relend" is a plain formation: the prefix "re-", meaning "again" or "back", attached to "lend," which comes from Old English "lǣnan," to give something on loan. To relend is simply to lend again, or to lend back something that was previously lent. The construction is transparent, so there is little more to trace beyond the two parts themselves.

Synonyms: reloan
