Etymology of BEGGESTERE

The word "Beggestere" is an archaic term derived from the Old English word "begga" and the Old Norse word "gestr".

- "Begga" means "to beg" or "to ask for alms" in Old English.

- "Gestr" means "guest" or "stranger" in Old Norse.

The combination of these two words in Old English gave rise to "Beggestere", which originally referred to a professional beggar or a wandering person seeking hospitality. Over time, the term evolved its meaning and was used more broadly to describe a performer or musician who would travel and entertain people in exchange for money or gifts.
