Beshiver

/bɪˈʃɪvər/ verb

Definition

To cause to shiver; to make shiver or tremble from cold or fear.

Etymology

From 'be-' + 'shiver.' Like 'beshake,' this intensifies the action of trembling.

Kelly Says

While rare, 'beshiver' captures something precise: not just a light shiver but being seized by shivers, like 'the ghost beshivered the whole castle.'
