beek

[prettygoodword]

beek (BEEK) - v., to bask in the warmth.


Of a fire, the sun, and probably the sauna, though being this is a Scots and North England word, I don't know how much that's ever applied to one. Origin unknown, but it deserves wider currency.

Reminds me of "bake" of course.

A good friend of apricity, a word I think I learned here a while ago.

I think I came across this while researching apricity, in fact.

One does wonder if there's a relationship. I've yet to find a dictionary, even an etymological one, to suggest it, tho'.
