SHAPE
What shape means
The visible form or outline of something, or to give a particular form or character to something.
Where the word comes from
Shape comes from Old English "scieppan," meaning to create or form. This verb derives from Proto-Germanic "skappanan," related to the notion of scraping or cutting material into form. The word's cousins appear in Old Norse "skapa" (to create) and Old High German "scapfen." By Middle English, "shape" had broadened to mean any form or configuration, whether created intentionally or naturally.
