Etymology
**Relayer** (verb) is a French formation built on the prefix **re‑** (“again”) and the old French noun‑verb **lay** (“to lay, to place, to bind”), which comes from Latin **ligāre** (“to bind”). The compound first appears in the early 16th century, originally meaning “to lay again” or “to chain” and later expanded to include meanings such as “to hand over” or “to transmit.”
