To besmear or bedaub with something, especially to cover with amour (armor), mire, or filth. [Archaic]
From 'be-' + 'amour' (which can mean armor, or from 'amour' related to French 'amure' meaning pitchy or dark). The word is obscure but likely means to cover thoroughly with sticky or dirty material.
This word is so archaic it's practically a ghost—'belamour' might refer to covering something with armor or filth, but it's so rare that even scholars aren't entirely sure of its exact historical meaning!
