Why “redame” is a great word
REDAME — [Verb] To love in return or requite love. From the Latin redamō, from re- ("back, in return") and amō ("to love"). Unlike "requite," which can settle any debt of vengeance or kindness, or "reciprocate," which trades in the broad currency of mutual exchange, to redame is the singular act of returning the gift of affection itself. It is the quiet, answering pressure of a hand in yours, the gaze that meets yours from an identical wellspring of warmth, the sustained harmony when a solitary melody is joined by its counterpart—the rare correction of a cosmic imbalance, where an emotion sent out does not vanish but finds a home and is completed.
