The Word "Woebeaone."

The word "woebegone" is an inter
esting survival Of the far past. "Be-
gone" here represents the past particf-
pie Of the Anglo-Saxon verb began"
to go around about, a word which has
otherwise entirely disappeared from
our vocabulary, but which has its anal
ogies in such verbs as "beset" and "be-
gird," in which the prefix "be" repre-
sents the modern proposition "by." A
woebegon countenance is thus that Of
a man compassed about with woe,
though perhaps 1t is most generally
used in a somewhat sighting manner
to imply that the appearance Of grief
is greater than the circumstances war
rant. Thus it has partially undergone
the same process Of degeneration
which has made "maudlin tears"-
original tears Of penItence from Mary
Magdalene bear contemptuous
meaning Standard.
