A rare or archaic verb meaning to worship excessively, to regard with excessive reverence, or to treat as an object of worship.
From 'be-' (intensive prefix) + 'worship' (from Old English 'weorthscipe,' literally 'worthy-ship,' meaning to honor or respect). The 'be-' prefix intensifies the action, suggesting excessive or extreme worship. This follows the pattern of other intensive 'be-' constructions.
