Etymology of BETIDED
The word "betide" is derived from the Old English word "bētīdan", which was a combination of the prefix "be-" (meaning around, about) and the verb "tīdan" (meaning to happen, occur). Over time, "bētīdan" evolved into "betide" in Middle English. The "be-" prefix in this context indicates the completion or occurrence of an action, and "tide" refers to a happening or event. Therefore, "betide" came to mean "to happen, occur, or befall".
