How to use "Besot" in context?
Besot is a word that is often used to describe how much someone is enjoying something. The Oxford English Dictionary defines besot as "to make very happy or pleased, to fill with delight; to fascinate." It is a word that derives from the Old French verb besoter, meaning to drench or soak, and the past participle bechu, meaning wet. In medieval France, besot was often used to describe sexual attraction, often between a woman and a man. It was not until the 18th century that besot began to be used more generally to describe a pleasing or flattering affect.
