Comes from "real" and "literally." Invented to compensate for the dramatic over- and mis-usage of the word "literally." What people now say as literal will usually not actually be literal, so the word "reliteral," or "reliterally," was invented to actually mean literally, and present no confusion as to whether the statement is actually literal or not.
