How Do You Spell SHEWN?

Pronunciation: [ʃjˈuːn] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "shewn" is an alternative form of "shown." The IPA phonetic transcription of "shewn" is /ʃuːn/. This spelling is common in British English and is used as the past participle of the verb "show." In American English, the spelling "shown" is more commonly used. The pronunciation of both words is the same, with the /n/ sound at the end being pronounced as a nasal sound.

SHEWN Meaning and Definition

  1. "Shewn" is an archaic past participle and past tense form of the verb "show," primarily used in British English. It is derived from the Middle English word "schewen," which originated from the Old English word "scēawian."

    To "show" means to present or display something, typically for others to see, observe, or comprehend. It involves visually exhibiting or demonstrating an object, idea, concept, or action. "Shewn" retains the same meaning but reflects an older form of the word.

    In modern usage, "shewn" is considered outdated and uncommon, and the past tense and past participle forms of "show" are generally represented by "showed" or "shown." However, "shewn" may still be encountered in certain literary contexts or works that aim to emulate older styles of English.

    For example, a sentence employing "shewn" might be: "The historical artifacts were shewn to the public in an exclusive exhibition." Here, the word indicates that the museum presented or displayed the artifacts to the general public for viewing and observation.

Common Misspellings for SHEWN

Etymology of SHEWN

The word "shewn" is the past participle of the verb "show" in archaic English. It comes from the Old English word "sceawian" which means "to look at, see, behold". The Old English word evolved into "schewen" in Middle English, and eventually changed to "shew" in Early Modern English. Over time, "shew" was replaced by "show" in standard English, but "shewn" remained as an alternate, less common form of the past participle, particularly in British English.
