Etymology of BESPREAD

The word "bespread" originates from the combination of two Middle English words: "be" and "spread".

The prefix "be-" was commonly used in Middle English to intensify a verb or indicate completeness or thoroughly. In the case of "bespread", it emphasizes the action of spread.

The word "spread" has Old English roots and derives from the Proto-Germanic word "sprēdan". It originally meant to extend or expand, and over time, it came to mean covering a surface by separating or opening up.

Combining the prefix "be-" with "spread" creates the word "bespread", which conveys the idea of thoroughly or completely covering or spreading something over a surface.
