† bevaradj.

Forms: In Middle English beuir, Middle English Scottish bevar.

Etymology: Of doubtful origin and meaning: most conjectures refer it to bever v.² to tremble, shake.

Obsolete.

Known only in bevar hore. Since Middle English hore (now hoar adj. and n.) was both adjective ‘hoary,’ and noun ‘grey-beard’ (German greis), it remains uncertain whether bevar was an adjective ‘feeble, worn-out,’ or a noun ‘old man’ or ? ‘feeble old man’.
