Definition
A rare gerund or present participle of 'beworm,' describing the process of becoming infested with worms or being filled with worms.
Etymology
From 'beworm' + '-ing' (gerund/participle suffix). As a verbal noun, it describes the ongoing action or process of worm infestation. This form shows the productive nature of English verb formation, even with obsolete base verbs.
Kelly Says
The fact that 'beworming' exists in old texts tells us people were actually concerned enough about worm infestation to create a dedicated verb for it—in medieval times, rot and infestation were serious problems for stored food, wood structures, and even bodies. The word is a linguistic artifact of practical medieval concerns.
