To cover or sprinkle with dew or liquid droplets; to moisten lightly.
From be- (prefix) + dew. The be- prefix combined with the noun dew to create a verb meaning 'to cover with dew.' This is a poetic/literary formation.
Bedew is the kind of poetic word poets love—it sounds beautiful (be-DEW) and suggests gentle, natural moisture rather than rain or floods, perfect for romantic or pastoral writing.
