redemer (s.xiiim)

[gdw]

[ FEW: 10,179b redimere; Gdf: 6,705c redimer; GdfC: ; TL: 8,528 redimer; DEAF:  redemer; DMF:  redimer; TLF:  rédimer; OED:  redeem v.; MED:  redemen v.; DMLBS: 2698a redimere ]
redeymer  

The verb is rare in Anglo-Norman. The early Evang1 attestation is problematic: With its diphthongized vowel and its parallelism with eyme, the word redeyme may also be interpreted as a variant of ramer1 (‘to love again’), with red- reflecting the Latin prefix of redamare (DMLBS 2693c). Alternatively, the d may even be an editorial or scribal misreading of cl, in which case the word would be the much more common recleyme (cf. the variant reading; reclamer: ‘to call back’).

For instances of a Latinized form of the past participle, see redempt.
