The origin and history of bespectacled.

Etymology

Bespectacled was formed within English by adding the prefix be- and the suffix -ed to spectacle, the word for an eyeglass lens. The be- prefix here works much as it does in words like bejewelled, turning the noun into a description of someone fitted out with the thing named.
