Etymology

The word 'shewing' is derived from Middle English, where the form 'shewen' was common. This, in turn, comes from the Old English term 'sceawian', which meant 'to look at' or 'to see'. The evolution of the word has seen variations in spelling and usage across different regions and time periods, particularly in British dialects. While 'show' has become the predominant form in modern usage, 'shewing' retains a formal and somewhat archaic presence in specific texts, especially those related to law, literature, and traditional discourse. The usage of 'shewing' demonstrates the linguistic shifts over time, highlighting how certain words fall out of common usage while still being recognized and understood in more formal or historical contexts.
