3. Morphemic Analysis:

• Prefix: be- (Germanic origin, often functioning as a verbal prefix, but here part of the root)
• Root: tydning (from Old Norse týðing meaning 'meaning, interpretation', related to tíða 'to seem, appear')
• Suffix: -ings- (nominalizing suffix, forming a noun from a verb or adjective, Germanic origin)
