To beg persistently; to ask repeatedly with urgency.
From Old English 'abeggan', combining the intensive prefix 'a-' with 'begge' (beg), intensifying the action of begging.
This verb shows how Old English doubled up prefixes for emphasis—'abegge' made begging sound even more desperate and urgent than plain 'begge'!
