To drip or drop onto or cover something with drops of liquid; to besprinkle.
From 'be-' (causative prefix) combined with 'drop,' suggesting to make something thoroughly drop-covered or to cause drops to fall upon something.
Like 'bedrizzle' and 'bedew,' this be- prefix verb shows how medieval and early modern English writers loved creating vivid verbs for actions we now describe with simple phrases like 'sprinkle on.'
