Definition
The present participle of beshrew; the act of cursing at or invoking misfortune upon someone.
Etymology
The present participle form of 'beshrew,' created by adding '-ing' to the verb stem. This form emphasizes the ongoing or continuous action of cursing or wishing bad luck.
Kelly Says
By using the '-ing' form, Early Modern English writers could stretch out a curse for dramatic effect—'beshrewing' someone feels more theatrical and sustained than a simple curse, perfect for Shakespeare's witty insults.
