Etymology
The word 'beseem' originates from the Middle English 'beseemen', which itself comes from the Old English term 'biseman'. This term is a combination of 'be-', a prefix meaning 'about' or 'to', and 'seeman', which is related to the verb 'seeman' meaning 'to seem' or 'to fit'. Historically, the word has been used to denote propriety in behavior or appearance in various social situations. Its usage has declined in modern English, making it a more archaic term primarily found in literary texts or formal discourse. The connotations of the word revolve around respectability and matching one's actions or appearance to societal expectations.
