The act of shouting at or loudly addressing someone or something in a forceful or overwhelming way.
From the prefix 'be-' combined with 'shouting,' the present participle of 'shout.' The 'be-' prefix intensifies the action, creating a verb meaning to cover with or surround by shouting. This archaic construction dates to Old English verb formations.
The prefix 'be-' is a linguistic superpower that English speakers have mostly forgotten about! It turns nouns and verbs into intense actions—'be-' doesn't mean 'to be' but rather 'to make' or 'to cover with,' which is why beshout means to shout overwhelmingly at something.
