sheaven.¹

Brit.

/ʃiːv/, U.S.

/ʃiv/

Forms: α. Middle English schive, Middle English s(c)hyve, 1500s shife, shyfe, Middle English–1500s Scottish plural schyffis, schiffis; β. Middle English, 1700s–1800s sheeve, Middle English shefe, Middle English–1500s sheve, 1500s Scottish plural s(c)hawis, 1600s–1700s shaff, 1700s shieve, sheff, 1800s sheaf, 1700s– sheave.

Etymology: Cognate with Old Saxon scîva (feminine) (glossing sphera), Middle Low German, modern Low German, Middle Dutch schîve (modern Dutch schijf), Old High German scîba, Middle High German schîbe, modern German scheibe; also (? from Low German) Icelandic skífa, Swedish skifva, Danish skive. In continental Germanic these words have the senses disk, quoit, wheel, sheave or pulley, pane of glass, flat plate, slice of bread, etc.; their formal equivalent in English is shive n.¹ /ʃaɪv/, which has had most of the senses here enumerated. The etymological relation between the present word and shive is hard to determine; the most probable view is that sheave represents (with vowel-change as in week , weevil , etc.) an Old English *scife or *scifa , from the weak grade of the root of scífe shive n.¹ In some of the α forms the quantity of the i is doubtful; if it be long, the examples belong strictly to shive n.¹

1. = shive n.¹, slice of bread.
