Etymology: "Shews" is the third-person singular present form of "shew," an older spelling of "show" that was once standard in English. The form ending in "-s" comes from the regular present-tense inflection, so "he shews" was simply the old way of writing "he shows" in the same sense of displaying or revealing something through visible signs or action. The verb itself is the older variant of the same word, and the two spellings existed side by side for centuries before "show" became the dominant form.

Synonyms: shows, displays, demonstrates
