A woolly farm animal with four legs that is raised for its fleece, meat, and milk, and typically lives in flocks under human care.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *sceap*, related to Old Saxon *scāp* and Old High German *scāf*. These Germanic words likely derive from Proto-Germanic *skāpan*, though the ultimate origin is uncertain. The word may be connected to an old root meaning "to cut" or "shape," possibly referring to the animal's woolly fleece, but this connection remains speculative.
