Belection

/bɪˈlɛkʃən/ noun

Definition

An archaic term possibly referring to selection, election, or a choice made with the prefix 'be-'.

Etymology

Possibly formed from 'be-' prefix combined with 'election,' though this word is extremely rare and its exact meaning is uncertain in surviving historical texts.

Kelly Says

Some words are so rare that only a handful of people across centuries may have used them—'belection' might be one scholar's coinage that never caught on, a linguistic dead-end from history.
