BEFLOWER Meaning and Definition

1. Beflower is a verb that refers to the act of adorning or decorating something with flowers. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "be-" which denotes an action or state of being, and the word "flower" which represents the reproductive structure typically found in plants.

   When applied literally, befowering involves the process of placing, arranging, or sticking flowers onto an object or a surface to enhance its visual appeal. This can be seen, for example, in floristry, where florists skillfully beflower bouquets, wreaths, or floral arrangements for various occasions such as weddings, funerals, or celebrations.

   Beyond its literal interpretation, the term can also be used metaphorically. In this sense, beflowering signifies the act of embellishing or beautifying something or someone, not necessarily with physical flowers, but rather with attributes, characteristics, or qualities that enhance their appeal or charm. For instance, a poet may be said to beflower their verses with vivid imagery, a speaker may be praised for beflowering their speech with eloquence, or an artist may be admired for beflowering their paintings with vibrant colors.

   Overall, beflower is a versatile verb that encompasses both the literal act of adorning something with flowers and the metaphorical action of embellishing or enhancing something or someone with beauty or attractiveness.

Etymology of BEFLOWER

The word "beflower" does not have a specific etymology as it is a combination of two distinct elements: "be-" and "flower".

The prefix "be-" is commonly used in English to indicate the act of encircling, surrounding, or transforming something into a particular state or condition. It can also imply intensification or completeness. For instance, "belittle" means to make something appear small, "befriend" means to create a state of friendship, and "beneath" means to be under or lower than something.

The word "flower" comes from the Old French term "flour", which further derives from the Latin word "flos" or "floris". "Flos" referred to both the flower and the blooming state. Over time, the "u" sound was introduced in "flour" in Middle English, giving rise to the modern word "flower".
