Origin:
The English word "beset" comes from the Old English word "besetten," which originally meant "to set down" or "to place." Over time, the word came to be used figuratively to refer to the act of surrounding or attacking someone or something. It was also used to describe the act of occupying or taking possession of a place or position.
The word "beset" is related to other English words that share the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)ed-, including "sit," "seat," "sediment," and "sedentary."
