Wonderful Welsh word meaning 'shame' or 'pity' — used (more's the pity) only in Welsh English as a way of expressing moderate poignancy, compassion, or empathy for an ironic or pathos-laden situation. Or even just as an indicator of cuteness.
"Bechod on him: he bought her a very expensive ring and a day later she left with his best friend."
"What a lovely kitten! Bechod!"
A better example of the sheer potency of the word might be:
"Bechod! Our one-legged, 102-year-old neighbour mowed our lawn whilst we were away on holiday in the Bahamas!"
