To renew or make new again; an archaic or obsolete form of renewal.
From Old English 'eneowian' (en- + new), meaning to make new. Related to the modern word 'renew,' which replaced this term as English evolved.
English used to form verbs by putting 'en-' in front of adjectives—'enew' (make new), 'enlarge' (make large), 'empower' (make power)—but we've kept only a handful of these today!
