Definition
Made dirty, contaminated, or polluted.
Etymology
Past tense or past participle of 'befoul,' used as an adjective to describe something that has been made foul or contaminated. The '-ed' ending marks both verb conjugation and adjectival formation.
Kelly Says
When 'befouled' modifies a noun—'befouled waters,' 'befouled reputation'—it carries more emotional weight than 'foul' alone, suggesting someone or something actively made it dirty rather than it merely being naturally unpleasant.
