What does BETIME mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To happen to someone, as fortune or an event does; to befall.
Betime is a rare old verb that works much like betide: something good or bad betimes a person when it comes upon them. It is closely tied to the adverb betimes, meaning "early" or "in good time", and the two share the idea of events arriving in their proper moment. Readers meet it chiefly in Elizabethan texts, where it is a variant that dictionaries record for completeness.
