What shown means
Made visible or displayed to someone, or demonstrated or explained to make something clear or understandable.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *scēawian*, meaning "to look at" or "to see," which derives from Proto-Germanic *skauwaną*. The verb evolved through Middle English *schewen* to mean "to display" or "to make visible," eventually becoming "shown" as the past participle. The root sense of looking or viewing gradually shifted toward the idea of presenting something for others to see.
