Definition
The ongoing action of covering with vomit or causing repeated vomiting.
Etymology
Present participle of 'bevomit,' formed with the '-ing' suffix. This combines the intensive 'be-' prefix with the continuous aspect, emphasizing the ongoing or repeated nature of the action.
Kelly Says
Gerunds with the 'be-' prefix are rare in modern English, which shows how many of these intensive verbs have become obsolete—we'd just say 'vomiting' now instead of 'bevomiting,' but the -ing form reveals how English speakers could layer grammatical markers for emphasis.
