To cover or spray with fine drops of moisture; to make wet with a drizzle.
From 'be-' (causative prefix) combined with 'drizzle' (from Middle English drisen, possibly from Old Norse, meaning fine rain or mist). The combination suggests making something thoroughly drizzly.
This word is a perfect example of how English's 'be-' prefix could attach to almost any verb to intensify it — bedrizzle means not just 'to drizzle' but 'to cause to become drizzled,' giving poets and writers maximum descriptive power.
