To kick repeatedly or thoroughly, or to cover with kicks.
From the prefix 'be-' combined with the verb 'kick,' likely from Old Norse or Germanic origins. The 'be-' intensifies the action of kicking.
Medieval and Early Modern English loved these 'be-' verbs for intensification—'becloud' (obscure completely), 'bedazzle' (confuse thoroughly)—they're like linguistic volume knobs turned all the way up.
