The answer
BESET
What beset means
To trouble or harass someone persistently, or to surround or hem in something on all sides.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *besettan*, meaning "to occupy" or "to surround," formed from *be-* (a prefix intensifying the verb) plus *settan* (to set or place). The sense shifted over time from physically surrounding to harassing or troubling persistently, likely because being surrounded came to suggest being hemmed in by problems or difficulties.
