Morphology
relume = re + lume
The figurative sense follows the same re- + 'lume' structure; the lexical root is not frequent in modern English, making the connection somewhat inferential rather than fully transparent.
Etymology
Relume comes from the parts re- 'again' and lume 'light', like in luminous, and people often use it for more than lamps. So to relume someone or something is to bring back light or hope, restoring energy or joy.
