How Do You Spell BEGIRD?

Pronunciation: [bɪɡˈɜːd] (IPA)

Begird is a rarely used verb that means to encircle or surround. Its spelling can be a bit confusing as the "-gird" portion of the word is pronounced differently from how it appears. To get the correct pronunciation, one must understand International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbols: the "gi" is pronounced as /dʒ/ (like the "j" in "jump"), followed by the "r" sound as /r/. So the complete pronunciation of begird is /bɪˈdʒɜrd/.

Etymology of BEGIRD

The word "begird" comes from Old English, where it was originally spelled "begeordan". It can be further broken down into two parts: "be-" which is a prefix indicating "surrounding" or "covering", and "geordan" which means "to gird" or "to encircle". Over time, the spelling evolved to "begird", but its meaning has remained relatively consistent. It is used to describe the act of surrounding or encircling something or someone.
