Where this word comes from

From Middle High German begleiten (14th c.), from an underlying (apparently unattested) *begeleiten, a confluence of beleiten and geleiten, both prefixed forms of leiten (“to lead”). Compare Dutch begeleiden. Sometimes reanalyzed as be- + Geleit (“escort”) + -en (with syncope as in begnügen from genug).
