Etymology of SHOWED

The word "showed" is the past tense of the verb "show". The etymology of "show" can be traced back to the Old English word "sceawian", which means "to look at, behold" or "to appear". This, in turn, is related to the Old High German word "scouwon" and the Old Norse word "sja", both meaning "to see". Over time, "sceawian" evolved into Middle English "shewen" and eventually "show", with "showed" arising as its past tense form.
