What does BEWORM mean in Scrabble?
verb
rare
To fill or cover something with worms, or to infest it with them.
Beworm is formed by putting the prefix be- in front of worm, and in the same way as other be- verbs it suggests that something is thoroughly overrun. Writers have used it for wood, fruit or flesh swarming with larvae, and sometimes for decay in a more figurative sense. It is a rare and slightly grotesque word that appears mainly in dictionaries and in vivid descriptive prose.
