neutral  wolfheart: requinquer veut plutôt dire remettre en état, surtout après une maladie, etc.
3 hrs
  -> Requinquer a plusieurs sens(voir les articles dont j'ai inséré les liens) (1) Remmetre en état (2) donner à une chose une meilleure apparence, une bonne allure, la rendre plus jolie
disagree  Renate Radziwill-Rall: nicht in diesem Kontext
12 hrs
neutral  Imanol: L'ennui, c'est que le verbe requinquer n'est généralement plus compris que dans le sens indiqué par wolfheart (resserrement sémantique). Dans un texte contemporain, mieux vaut donc je crois l'éviter si l'on souhaite être compris de tous.
