Etymology: "Sheweth" is the archaic third-person singular present form of "shew," meaning "to make something visible" or "to show." The ending "-eth" was the traditional suffix for that person and tense in older English, so "he sheweth" or "she sheweth" meant "he shows" or "she shows." The verb "shew" is the older spelling of "show," and the two forms have long existed side by side, with "show" winning out in everyday use.
