Etymology of BETHINKS

The prefix be- in this context is an Old English word that denotes an intensive or reflexive action. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word bi- and has various meanings, such as completely, thoroughly, or about, around.

The second element, thinks, is a form of the verb think. Think is an Old English word derived from the Proto-Germanic word thinkwan, meaning to seem, to appear, or to think.
