Etymology of BESHREW

The word "beshrew" originated from Middle English and it is derived from the Old English word "gebiscerian", which means to curse, blame, or reproach. The Old English term, in turn, comes from the combination of the prefix "ge-" (which typically signifies intensity or completion) and the verb "biscerian" (which means to curse or invoke evil upon someone). Over time, "gebiscerian" evolved into "beshrew" in Middle English, maintaining a similar meaning of cursing or expressing disapproval towards someone or something.
