🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
The phrase 'as shown' combines two Old English elements: 'as' derives from Old English 'eal swa' meaning 'just as' or 'in the same way', while 'shown' is the past participle of 'show', from Old English 'sceawian' meaning 'to look at' or 'to display'. Together, they form a construction meaning 'in the manner displayed' or 'as it appears'.
Breakdown
as (Old English 'swa': in the same way, just as) + shown (past participle of show, from Old English 'sceawian': to display or reveal).
