What does REDUX mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literary
Brought back or restored; used after a noun to signal a revived or updated version of something.
Redux is a Latin-derived word meaning led back, and English borrowed it specifically for the position after the noun it modifies, as in a title such as Rabbit Redux. Writers and film-makers use it to signal that a familiar story, character or idea is returning in a new form. Because the word is rare outside this titling use, it retains a slightly formal, literary flavour even in casual contexts.
