Becrowd

/bɪˈkraʊd/ verb

Definition

To fill with a crowd; to surround or pack closely with many people.

Etymology

From 'be-' plus 'crowd'; the prefix transforms the noun into a verb meaning to fill with or surround with crowds.

Kelly Says

Medieval markets and fairs would be 'becrowded'—the word is more descriptive than 'crowded' because it emphasizes the process of people gathering and filling a space.
