The word "shown" is the past participle form of the verb "show." It means to present, display, or reveal something to someone. When something is "shown," it indicates that it has been made visible or clear to others, whether through a demonstration, an exhibition, or simply by revealing it.
The word "shown" originates from the Old English word "scēawian," which means to look at or observe. The form "shown" is derived from the past participle of "show," which has its roots in the Germanic languages, evolving through Middle English as "shen."
