An extremely archaic or obsolete verb, possibly meaning to cover or envelop, though its exact meaning is uncertain.
From the prefix 'be-' combined with 'verse' (from Latin 'versus,' meaning turned). The word appears in some early English texts but its usage is not well documented.
Some words are so rare and archaic that their meanings are lost to history! Scholars have to be detectives, finding a single use in a 400-year-old manuscript and guessing what it meant.
