verb bedears · bedearing · bedeared
-
To make or hold dear; endear.
I have been too nice. The coaxing minx, she loves me, cannot hide it, Has but half heart to try. Coy as she is, Her looks are kisses and her voice bedears me, Though she but say "Good day, sir."
Similar: appreciate, cherish, prize, bedear, esteem, hold dear, think much of, treasure, value
- To say "dear" to; address as "dear". The "dears" had such a hard time of it, that they ended by keeping purposely away from the court-receptions, while, on the other hand, the legion of insignificant people with the von to their name commenced bedearing each other to their hearts content.
