rellie en · NOUN
Etymology
From relative + -ie.
Meanings
-
(informal) relative (someone in the same family)
Similary, corresponding with genealogists in Australia soon introduced me to "rellie." It took me some time to realize that this was not an abbreviation for pickle relish. It means relatives, as in "I just came back from visiting my rellies."
