How to use "Behest" in context?
The English word "behest" comes from the French verb "beber", meaning "to drink", and it is used to describe a request or demand. In formal situations, a "behest" can be a request for something, usually something small, that someone makes to someone else.
For example, if someone is having a cocktail party and they want to know if anyone would like a glass of champagne, they might say, "Would you like me to make you a behest, dear?" That means they would like to do the pouring for someone else and serve them a drink.
