Becense

/bɪˈsɛns/ verb

Definition

To perfume or treat with incense, or to surround with fragrant smoke.

Etymology

From the prefix 'be-' (meaning to make or cause) combined with 'cense' (from Latin 'censere,' to perfume with incense); the 'be-' prefix intensifies the action.

Kelly Says

The 'be-' prefix is a secret weapon in English that transforms simple verbs into something more potent—'becense' transforms you into an active agent of fragrance, not just someone burning incense.
