reliction
C2CEFR level
97/100Rarity: very rare
TechnicalRegister
The gradual retreat of water leaving previously submerged land, which accrues to the adjoining owner.
As the lake receded by reliction, the exposed shore became part of the neighbouring estate.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
