The etymology of 'beguine' is unclear, but apparently it ultimately has something to do with a French word for stuttering, stammering. What I didn't know is that the male order (who imitated the original female beguines) deteriorated and quickly got negative associations attached to them. Apparently the English word 'beg' - ask for money - is derived from the male order.
