To scrape something thoroughly or repeatedly, covering a surface completely with scraping motions.
From 'be-' + 'scrape' (from Old Norse 'skrapa,' meaning to scrape or scratch). The prefix transforms it into a verb meaning to scrape completely and intensively.
The word 'scrape' itself has that satisfying rough sound, and adding 'be-' to it makes it sound even more vigorous—like you're really going at something with serious scraping action until every bit is removed. Medieval cooks might 'bescrape' a pot clean.
