Re: "redux"

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

>From the AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY, 4TH ED., "redux":  "brought back / 
returned"

from the RANDOM HOUSE UNABRIDGED:  "brought back / resurgent"

from MERRIAM-WEBSTER COLLEGE, 10TH ED.:  "brought back"



*and from WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD, often the most sensitively written:

"that has been brought back / revived / restored"*


And cf. the recently released (movie) "Apocalypse Now Redux"; reviews with 
titles like "Mr. Goodbar Redux" (from THE ATLANTIC); and, of course, John 
Updike's RABBIT, REDUX.


"Redux" should definitely be assumed to be an entirely au courant, kosher 
usage in English!


--Robert Cohen, sometime lexicographer


>So "Redux" seems to be saved for the English language!
