Etymology of BEWAIL

The word "bewail" can be traced back to the Old English verb "bewēlan", which combines the prefix "be-" (indicating intensification) with the root word "wēlan" (meaning "to lament" or "to mourn"). Originally, the "wēlan" part of the word referred to the act of moaning or making mournful sounds. Over time, "bewēlan" evolved into "bewail", retaining its meaning of expressing deep sadness or grief.
