Etymology

The word 'betiding' originates from Middle English, derived from the Old English 'betīdan,' which means 'to happen or come to pass.' The prefix 'be-' indicates a thoroughness or completeness, while 'tid' relates to time or occurrence. This word has its roots in the Proto-Germanic *þidō, which reflects a sense of time and events unfolding. Over centuries, the usage of the term has evolved, often seen in literary contexts to convey a sense of unfolding or significant events taking place, particularly in poetic or archaic texts. Today, 'betiding' is not commonly used in everyday language, but it retains an air of narrative quality that can evoke deeper meanings in storytelling.
