Etymology of BE RATES

The word "be rates" is derived from the Old French term "bereter", which means "to scold or upbraid". This Old French term can be further traced back to the Latin word "benedicere", which originally meant "to speak well of" but eventually evolved into "to speak against, curse, or denounce" in later Latin. Over time, "bereter" in Old French and eventually "be rates" in English came to signify harshly criticizing or rebuking someone.
