Makes dim or obscures the brightness of something (he/she/it bedims).
Third person singular present tense of 'bedim,' formed by adding '-s' to the base verb. The 'be-' prefix + 'dim' construction creates a more emphatic darkening action.
You'll see 'bedims' in older literature, particularly Romantic poetry, where writers loved using 'be-' verbs to create a more dramatic, archaic tone—'sorrow bedims the eyes' sounds more poetic than 'sorrow dims the eyes.'
