Usage

This is a regular verb formed with the prefix réé- (re- + e-) and the verb éclairer. It is less common than éclairer alone but appears in literary or formal contexts when emphasizing the renewal or repetition of illumination or clarification. The prefix réé- is used before vowel-initial verbs to avoid awkward vowel clustering.
