reicin (s.xiv2)

[hap]

[ FEW: ; Gdf: ; GdfC: ; TL: ; DEAF: ; DMF: ; TLF: ; OED: ; MED: ; DMLBS: ]
 

The word is otherwise unattested and it is defined in reference to its Middle English and Latin glosses. It is unclear if the editor intended his emendation to make the word a variant of raisin1, though the sense of ‘abundance, fruitfulness’ is not attested for that word.

s.

1abundance, repleteness
( s.xiv2; MS: c.1400 )  Vraiment merveillous est celle reicin,  (ms. reiton) (M.E. replecioun) (Latin: ubertas) merveillous est celle meson  60.8
