[tick] it descends from a verb which appears (in slightly different forms) in both Classical and Vulgar Latin

Is the difference in form between Classical and Vulgar Latin related to a single segment, either a consonant or vowel?

[cross] Not really... although in some forms this is the case, the difference is morphological rather than phonological.

Gonna guess that means that the verb is *molliō ‘to wet, to dampen’? Re-wetting center… Is it a term for a laundromat?

[cross]

The semantic drift was initially towards a more specific culinary sense, although in the compound it’s been generalised again.

Culinary, hmm? This may be too generalized, but does remuêl- here just mean "to cook"?

Nope. The culinary meaning is pretty specific.

Hmm… I'm not sure how much further I'll be able to get with this line of inquiry, so to speak, at least for the time being. I'll try to take a step back.

Does centrala remuêlaçônel refer to a building?

Not really a single building, although there would definitely be a number of buildings/structures in a centrala remuêlaçônel.

centrala remuêlaçônel
[siɰ̃tχɑˈɫɒ ʁimɥɛ̈ɫɑ̈ʃɔˈŋɛɫ]
centrala remuêlaçônel
  • Does not mean "laundromat"
  • Does not refer to a single building, "although there would definitely be a number of buildings/structures in" one
centrala
  • A noun
  • Related to the English words "center/centre" and "central"
  • Refers to a location
  • More specific than just "a central place"
remuêlaçônel
  • An adjective
  • -açônel is equivalent to English “-ational”
  • re- is etymologically equivalent to "re-" in English
  • -muêl- is descended from *molliō "to wet, to dampen"
  • "The meaning of remuêl- has changed quite a lot", "initially towards a more specific culinary sense, although in the compound it’s been generalised again"
  • remuêl- does not simply mean "to cook", as the "culinary meaning is pretty specific"

I've tried to summarize everything that's been confirmed so far here.

Since it was specifically said that re- is etymologically equivalent to English "re-", I'm assuming it won't be helpful to think of it as meaning something like "again" here, correct?

Yep, all correct.

It's helpful for working out the older culinary meaning, but not for the way its used in this compound.

Does <remuêla-> mean “to fry” and does the whole word mean something like “food court”?
