Webster's 1828 Dictionary

BEG

n.In the Turkish dominions, a governor of a town or country; more particularly, the lord of a sangiac or banner. Every province is divided into seven sangiacs or banners, each of which qualifies a bey; and these are commanded by the governor of the province, called begler-beg or lord of all the beys. Each beg has the command of a certain number of spahis, or horse, denominated timariots. In Tunis, the beg or bey is the prince or king, answering to the dey of Algiers.
In Egypt, the begs are twelve generals who command the militia, or standing forces of the kingdom.

 

BEG

v.t. 1. To ask earnestly; to beseech; to entreat or supplicate with humility. It implies more urgency than ask or petition.
Joseph begged the body of Jesus. Matthew 27:58.
2. To ask or supplicate in charity; as, we may yet be reduced to beg our bread.
3. To take for granted; to assume without proof; as, to beg the question in debate.

 

BEG

v.i.To ask alms or charity; to practice begging; to live by asking alms. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. Luke 16:3.

 

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

BEG

Beg, n. Etym: [Turk. beg, pronounced bay. Cf. Bey, Begum. ]

 

Defn: A title of honor in Turkey and in some other parts of the East; a bey.

 

BEG

Beg, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Begged; p. pr. & vb. n. Begging. ] Etym: [OE. beggen, perh. fr. AS. bedecian (akin to Goth. bedagwa beggar ), biddan to ask. (Cf. Bid, v. t.); or cf. beghard, beguin. ]

 

1. To ask earnestly for; to entreat or supplicate for; to beseech. I do beg your good will in this case. Shak. [Joseph ] begged the body of Jesus. Matt. xxvii. 58.

 

Note: Sometimes implying deferential and respectful, rather than earnest, asking; as, I beg your pardon; I beg leave to disagree with you.

 

2. To ask for as a charity, esp. to ask for habitually or from house to house. Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Ps. xxxvii. 25.

 

3. To make petition to; to entreat; as, to beg a person to grant a favor.

 

4. To take for granted; to assume without proof.

 

5. (Old Law )

 

Defn: To ask to be appointed guardian for, or to ask to have a guardian appointed for. Else some will beg thee, in the court of wards. Harrington. Hence: To beg (one ) for a fool, to take him for a fool. I beg to, is an elliptical expression for I beg leave to; as, I beg to inform you. -- To bag the question, to assume that which was to be proved in a discussion, instead of adducing the proof or sustaining the point by argument. -- To go a-begging, a figurative phrase to express the absence of demand for something which elsewhere brings a price; as, grapes are so plentiful there that they go a-begging.

 

Syn. -- To Beg, Ask, Request. To ask (not in the sense of inquiring ) is the generic term which embraces all these words. To request is only a polite mode of asking. To beg, in its original sense, was to ask with earnestness, and implied submission, or at least deference. At present, however, in polite life, beg has dropped its original meaning, and has taken the place of both ask and request, on the ground of its expressing more of deference and respect. Thus, we beg a person's acceptance of a present; we beg him to favor us with his company; a tradesman begs to announce the arrival of new goods, etc. Crabb remarks that, according to present usage, "we can never talk of asking a person's acceptance of a thing, or of asking him to do us a favor. " This can be more truly said of usage in England than in America.

 

BEG

BEG Beg, v. i.

 

Defn: To ask alms or charity, especially to ask habitually by the wayside or from house to house; to live by asking alms. I can not dig; to beg I am ashamed. Luke xvi. 3.
