To load or supply generously with a ladle; to pour or distribute using a ladle.
From 'be-' (to cover or supply thoroughly) + 'ladle' (from Old English hlæd, meaning to load). The word originally meant to load a cart, then came to mean loading with a ladle.
This word is so obscure that it's practically extinct, but it shows how the 'be-' prefix was used to create verbs from everyday tools—if ladling soup was common enough, it deserved its own verb!
