Root Explanation

Beshroud → It is formed from the prefix "be-" (meaning to cover or surround) and the root "shroud" (from Old English *scrūd*, meaning a cloth or garment). The word "beshroud" means to cover or envelop something, often in a shroud or cloth.

Think of 'covering' something ('be-') with a 'cloth' ('shroud') — that's why beshroud means to cover or envelop.
