reremain

Possibly didn't survive out of Middle English Pious Eterino (talk) 17:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

OED has nothing after 1500. It also has reredemaine (same sense) with a euphonic -de- added, which has two independent modern attestations. Interestingly, we could resurrect reredemain with these two additional attestations, which are easily found in EEBO. But that doesn't help the cause of reremain.
