From Middle English schewen, schawen, scheawen, from Old English scēawian (“to look, look at, exhibit, display”), from Proto-Germanic *skawwōną (“to look, see”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewh₁- (“to heed, look, feel, take note of”); see haw, gaum, caveat, caution.
Cognate with Scots shaw (“to show”), Saterland Frisian scoe (“to look, behold”), Dutch schouwen (“to inspect, view”), German schauen (“to see, behold”), Danish skue (“to behold”), Icelandic skygna (“to spy, behold, see”). Related to sheen.

Usage notes
- The past participle shown was uncommon before the 19th century, but is now the preferred form in standard English. In the UK, showed is regarded as archaic or dialectal. In the US, it is considered a standard variant form, but shown is more common. Garner's Modern American Usage favors shown over showed as past participle and claims it is mandatory for passives.
- In the past, shew was used as a past-tense form and shewed as a past participle of this verb; both forms are now archaic.
Synonyms
- (display): display, indicate, point out, reveal, exhibit
- (indicate a fact to be true): demonstrate, prove
- (put in an appearance): arrive, show up
