What does RELEND mean in Scrabble?
verb
To put money back out on loan once a borrower has paid it off, so the same funds keep working.
A bank or a private lender can relend money that was returned only recently, putting the same funds back into circulation for a new borrower. The word simply attaches the prefix re- to lend, so in principle anyone can relend a book, a tool, or a sum of cash without any special legal meaning attached to the act itself. It turns up mostly in banking and finance writing, where an institution may relend deposits once the first loan on them has been settled. Outside that context relend stays rare, since everyday speech usually just repeats lend together with the word again.
How RELEND is used
Mostly found in banking and finance writing about reusing repaid funds, rare in everyday conversation.
