What does REMAN mean in Scrabble?
verb
To supply something, especially a ship or post, with a new crew or staff after the previous one has left.
Reman is built from re- and man used as a verb, so it describes putting people back into a role or vehicle that has been left empty, such as a ship whose crew has disembarked or a post that soldiers must return to. Military writing uses the word often, for a trench or gun position that must be reoccupied after an attack has passed. The same idea extends to peacetime settings, where an outpost or lifeboat station can be given fresh volunteers to reman it. The sense is always about restoring personnel, not about repairing equipment.
How REMAN is used
Chiefly used of military posts, ships and stations that are given a fresh crew or staff.
- Fresh troops arrived to reman the trench after the bombardment ended.
- The company had to reman the night shift after several workers resigned.
- Volunteers helped reman the lifeboat station over the weekend.
- Officers were sent to reman the abandoned outpost.
- The old warship was refitted and remanned for coastal patrol.
