bespate (not comparable)
- (obsolete) That has been spit upon.
- 1855, Robert Browning, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came, section XIX:
- No sluggish tide congenial to the glooms; / This, as it frothed by, might have been a bath / For the fiend's glowing hoof - to see the wrath / Of its black eddy bespate with flakes and spumes.
