Definition
To pierce through or perforate something; to make holes in or penetrate thoroughly.
Etymology
From 'be-' prefix + 'pierce'. The 'be-' prefix intensifies the action, suggesting complete or thorough piercing rather than a single hole.
Kelly Says
Arrows 'bepierced' armor in medieval battle descriptions—the verb suggests violence that goes completely through, not just surface damage.
