To welcome warmly or enthusiastically; to greet in a welcoming manner.
From 'be-' plus 'welcome' (from Old Norse 'velkomin' via Middle English). The prefix intensifies the warmth or completeness of the welcome.
Imagine hosting cultures that used 'bewelcome' to mean 'welcome with your whole being'—the 'be-' prefix captured a total, embodied kind of hospitality that single words couldn't.
