Beduck

/bɪˈdʌk/ verb

Definition

To cover or coat something, or to plunge something into a substance repeatedly.

Etymology

From 'be-' prefix (meaning thoroughly) combined with 'duck' (from Middle English and Old English 'ducen', meaning to dive or immerse). The '-be' prefix suggests complete immersion.

Kelly Says

Beduck is one of those satisfying verbs where the 'be-' prefix perfectly captures repeated dunking—like completely beducking something in paint or water, emphasizing the totality of the action in a way 'duck' alone doesn't.
