SHEARED Meaning and Definition

1. Sheared is the past tense and past participle form of the verb shear. The term shear is primarily used in the context of cutting or removing a portion from a material, such as hair, wool, or metal, by applying force against it using a sharp-edged tool or instrument. When an object is sheared, it means that a section or layer has been neatly sliced or removed, usually in a smooth and even manner.

   In the case of textiles, such as wool or fur, shearing involves the cutting or trimming of fibers to achieve a consistent length or texture. For instance, when sheep are sheared, the process involves removing their wool by cutting it close to the skin. This act of shearing ensures that the wool can be used for various purposes like clothing, insulation, or crafting.

   The term sheared is also applicable in industrial or manufacturing settings, where metal sheets or other materials are cut by large machines known as shears. These machines apply immense pressure to the object, cleanly slicing through the material to achieve the desired shape or size.

   Overall, sheared is a verb that describes the action of cutting or removing a specific portion or layer from a material, whether it be hair, wool, fur, or metal, resulting in a clean, precise, and even cut.
