Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the past participle of the older English verb 'bespeak', meaning to speak for something or order it to be made. Dating back to the 16th century, it originally referred to goods, particularly clothing, that had been commissioned by a customer and thus 'spoken for' before production began.
