History
Etymology
From Middle English bedrip, from Old English bedrīp (“compulsory service rendered to a landowner at harvest time, the reaping of corn on request”), from a compound of bed (“prayer, supplication, religious ordinance, service”) + rīp (“reaping, harvest”). More at bead, reap.
From be- (“on, about, all over”) + drip.
