To cover or fill with smoke; to surround or obscure with smoke.
From be- plus smoke (Old English smoca, origin uncertain but possibly related to Old Saxon smoka). The prefix intensifies the action of covering with smoke.
Smoke has been troublesome to describe since languages began—it's neither quite solid nor gas, visible yet invisible in different lights. Besmoke tried to capture the way smoke envelops things, which is why it appears in poetry more than prose.
