- noworriesnate 1y agoBeware = be + ware, but most people don’t use be- as a prefix anymore (“I’m going to bequiz my students this morning”) and they don’t use ware to mean pay attention anymore. The word “sight” Is still in common usage though.
- bradknowles 1y agoNo, but there is still common use of the related form “wary”.
