BESCATTER Meaning and Definition

  1. Bescatter is a verb that refers to the act of scattering or strewing about or over something, typically in a random or dispersed manner. It involves spreading or distributing something loosely or lightly across a surface or area. The word is derived from the combination of the prefix "be-" meaning to affect thoroughly or excessively, and the verb "scatter," which means to disperse or spread out in different directions.

    When something is bescattered, it is intentionally or unintentionally scattered or dispersed over a wide area. This can apply to various substances or objects, such as tiny particles, dust, seeds, or even items like confetti or glitter. Bescattering can occur naturally, such as when leaves are blown by the wind and scattered across a yard, or it can be done by hand, like tossing seeds into a garden or lawn. It can also refer to the act of spreading something in a careless or haphazard manner, as when someone "bescatters" their belongings all around a room.

    Overall, bescatter encompasses the idea of spreading or dispersing something in a somewhat random or scattered fashion. It implies an element of lightness or lack of concentration, as the scattering is typically not dense or concentrated. The word captures the concept of distributing or strewing something loosely or sparsely, often with an element of casualness.

  2. To scatter over.

Etymology of BESCATTER

The word "bescatter" is derived from the combination of two roots: "be-" and "scatter".

The prefix "be-" in Old English was used to intensify or make something vivid. It eventually developed into a prefix that expresses the idea of covering or surrounding.

The root "scatter" comes from the Old Norse word "skattr", meaning "to disperse or scatter". The Old Norse word "skattr" is related to the Old English word "sceotan", which means "to shoot, thrust, or project".

So, when you combine the prefix "be-" (intensifying or surrounding) with the root "scatter" (to disperse or scatter), you get "bescatter", which means to intensively or completely scatter or disperse something.
