An archaic or rare term possibly meaning to lecture to or to scold extensively.
Formed with 'be-' prefix and 'lecture,' following the pattern of creating verbs that mean to perform an action thoroughly or extensively, though this word is extremely rare in surviving texts.
If this word ever existed widely, it's completely extinct now—which tells us that 'lecture' was sufficient on its own, and adding 'be-' to make 'belecture' didn't add enough meaning to justify keeping it around.
