Definitions

  1. a solicitation for money or food (especially in the street by an apparently penniless person)

Word origin

From Middle English begging, beggyng, beggynge, equivalent to beg + -ing (gerund ending).

Used in a sentence

  • The Brahmans were very annoying in their beggings for money […]
  • Then a thin old hag […] moaned out, "Twopence for two ounces!" and had to go out of the shop unmeated, since her earnings — or her beggings — had not brought her enough to have that small price to spare.
