rénumérer

verb

Syllable Decomposition

nurer

by inversion of the letters n and m of the verb rémunérer. This inversion, quite frequent in spoken language, may be due to the influence of numéraire, or to that of dénumérer. In Middle French, an example of the use of renumerer in the sense of 'to reward' is also found, which the Middle French dictionary also interprets as an inversion of the two consonants.
