Etymology of BEWRAYED

The word "bewrayed" has Middle English origins, derived from the combination of two Old English words: "be-" meaning 'about, thoroughly, all over', and "wregan" meaning 'accuse, betray'.

"Bewrayed" originally meant 'to reveal or make known', often in the sense of exposing someone's secret or hidden intentions. However, over time, the meaning shifted more towards 'betray' in the sense of disclosing confidential information or trust. Today, the word is less commonly used in everyday language, with the term "betrayed" being more prevalent.
