Bepart

Definition

To separate or divide into parts; an archaic or rare verb meaning to portion out completely.

Etymology

From 'be-' (intensive prefix) + 'part'. Rare Medieval English formation emphasizing thorough division or separation.

Kelly Says

Bepart shows the 'be-' prefix at work: regular 'part' verbs mean to divide, but 'bepart' would mean to divide completely, utterly, and thoroughly through and through.
