Etymology
Alteration of relâmpado, from re- + lâmpado, from Latin lampada (“lamp”), from lampas, or through a derivative of Late Latin lampāre. The prefix re- indicates the idea of repetition, hence lightning striking over and over again. Compare Spanish relámpago. See: Latin Nouns '
lampada', Spanish Nouns '
relámpago'.
