BEGRIME Meaning and Definition

1. "Begrime" is a verb that refers to the act of making something dirty, or covering it with dirt, grime, or soot. It involves the process of tainting or soiling an object's surface, resulting in a grimy or filthy appearance. This term can be used broadly for both solid objects and surfaces as well as for abstract or metaphorical concepts.

   The effect of begriming is often associated with substances such as dirt, dust, ash, grease, or any other substance that can cause staining or filthiness. It implies the alteration of an object's original cleanliness or pristine state, making it appear unclean, smudged, or discolored. This action can occur intentionally, such as when purposely applying a layer of grime to achieve a certain aesthetic effect, or unintentionally, simply due to neglect or lack of maintenance.

   Moreover, "begrime" can also be used metaphorically to describe the tarnishing or contaminating of an abstract concept, such as one's reputation or character. In this sense, it denotes the staining or polluting of someone's image or integrity. It implies that something previously pure or respected has been tainted, often due to immoral or dishonest actions.

   Overall, "begrime" encompasses the act of covering something with dirt or grime, be it a physical object or a more intangible concept, leading to a state of dirtiness, filthiness, or compromised integrity.

2. To soil deeply all over with dirt.

Etymology of BEGRIME

The word "begrime" is derived from the Old English word "bigriman" which means "to cover with dirt or filth". It originated from the combining of "be-" (used as a strengthening or intensive prefix) and "griman" (meaning "to soil or bedaub"). Over time, "bigriman" evolved into "bigrimen" and eventually "begrime" in Middle English, retaining its original meaning of making something dirty or grimy.
