Emily Dickinson Lexicon

BE-WRAY', v.t. [bera'y; Chaucer has wraie, wreye, wray, and in the infinitive bewrien, to discover, as if from Sax. wrecan, to tell. In Sax. awreon, onwreon, signify to reveal, as if the negative of wrigan, to cover.]

To disclose perfidiously; to betray; to show or make visible. Thy speech bewrayeth thee. – Matth. xxiii. [This word is nearly antiquated.]
