Be- as a prefix goes back to Old English.
- It has become ingrained in some verbs: begin, believe, become.
- It can change an intransitive verb into a transitive one: bemoan, belie, besmirch.
- It can also also turn nouns and adjectives into verbs: befriend, belittle, bejewel.
- Finally, it is sometimes used on the fly: The bejacketed biker gang claimed the far corner of the pub.
The prefix 'be' means all over or all around something.
