Pronunciation: [biː sˈiːmd] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "be seemed" might confuse some English language learners due to the phonetic differences between the two letters "e" and "ea". In IPA phonetic transcription, the word can be transcribed as /biː siːmd/. The sound /iː/ represents the long "e" sound in "be", while the sound /iː/ is repeated for the long "e" sound in "seemed". The letters "ea" here make the sound of the long "e", the same as the letter "e".
There is no widely recognized dictionary definition for the phrase "be seemed." However, based on the understanding of the individual words, one can infer a hypothetical meaning for the phrase.
The verb "be" is the form "to be" in the past participle, indicating a state of existence or identity. "Seemed" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "seem," which generally means to give the impression of being or to appear in a certain way.
Combining these two words, "be seemed" could potentially refer to a state or condition where someone or something is perceived or perceived to be a certain way. It suggests that an external observer perceives a specific quality, characteristic, or appearance in the subject.
For example, if someone says, "He seemed to be angry," it implies that the person speaking observed behavior from the individual that led them to conclude that he appeared angry.
However, it's important to note that "be seemed" as a phrase does not have common usage and may likely be considered grammatically incorrect. It is always advisable to use more standard expressions and verbs when constructing sentences.
The phrase "be seemed" does not have a distinct etymology since it is not a common or widely recognized term. It appears to be a combination of the verb "to be" in its infinitive form and the past participle form of the verb "seem". However, it is worth noting that "seem" is derived from the Old Norse word "sœma" and the Old English word "sēman", both of which meant "to appear or be fitting".
