Made of or resembling the material of a becher; having the quality or appearance of a drinking cup.
Derived from 'becher' with the suffix '-ern' (meaning made of), following the Old English pattern of adding '-ern' to nouns to indicate material composition, similar to 'wooden' or 'silken'.
This word shows how English once had a much more flexible system for creating adjectives describing what things were made of—we've mostly replaced this with modern suffixes like '-en' or '-made,' but 'bechern' survives in historical texts.
