To mock, ridicule, or make fun of someone or something thoroughly.
From 'be-' (prefix intensifying) + 'mock' (from Old French 'mocquer', origin uncertain but possibly from Low German). The prefix strengthens the sense of mocking.
The 'be-' prefix really intensifies verbs—'mock' is teasing, but 'bemock' suggests a more thorough, almost relentless ridicule, showing how prefixes can add emotional weight to words.
