Word origin
The word 'shallow' has its origins in Old English, where it was originally spelled as 'sceald'. Over time, the spelling evolved to 'shallow' as we know it today. The concept of shallowness has been associated with various aspects such as water depth, knowledge, and emotions, reflecting a lack of depth or profundity. The word continues to be commonly used in everyday language to describe things that are not deep or lack substance.
