Made aware of danger or caution; put on guard or alert.
Formed from 'be-' plus the past participle 'wared,' from 'ware' (archaic for 'beware'). The word emphasizes putting someone into a state of wariness or caution.
This is super archaic—'beware' itself is still used, but 'bewared' almost never appears in modern English. It's a fossil word showing how the 'be-' prefix once created descriptive adjectives from verbs.
