Etymology of BEDABBLED
The word "bedabbled" is derived from the combination of two words: "be" and "dabble".
The word "dabble" has a Middle English origin, derived from the Old Norse word "depill", meaning "to splash or paddle". It then evolved into the Middle English word "dabben", which means "to make something wet or soiled by splashing or smearing". Over time, this word further developed into the verb "dabble", which has the connotation of taking part in an activity in a superficial or amateurish way.
The addition of the prefix "be-" to "dabble" creates the word "bedabble", which intensifies the meaning. It suggests the idea of thoroughly or completely splashing or soiling something, going beyond a superficial or amateurish level.
