beleaguered 的核心畫面可以想成一個被圍成一圈的地方。軍隊在四面紮營，然後就待著不走。城牆還沒倒，裡面的人也還在，但東西進不來、人出不去，往哪個方向都沒有路。這個字走到哪裡都帶著那個圈：被 beleaguered 的東西通常還撐著，卻同時被壓著、被圍著。From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary etymology gives only the surface build: beleaguer + -ed. So the adjective is simply 'having been beleaguered', which keeps the ring of the verb inside it.
本次提供的維基詞典字源只給到表層結構：beleaguer + -ed。也就是說，這個形容詞就是「被 beleaguer 過的」，動詞裡那個「圍住」的圈就原封不動留在字裡。更早的來源不在這份資料裡，所以這裡不往前추。
