to juggle or manipulate something deceptively; to trick or deceive through sleight of hand.
From 'be-' plus 'juggle,' from Old French jongler, from Latin joculator (joker, entertainer). The prefix intensifies the sense of deception inherent in juggling.
This word barely survives outside historical texts, but 'juggle' itself comes from medieval entertainers (joculators) in Europe. The 'be-' version emphasized manipulating multiple things, hence 'bejuggling' became a metaphor for complex, possibly dishonest management.
