shepn.

/ʃɛp/

Forms: Also Middle English schep, chep.

Etymology: Short for shepherd n.It is commonly supposed that this word occurs in the second line of Piers Plowman, ‘I shope me into shroudes as I a sheep were’. The author's meaning, however, seems to be that the assumption of a hermit's dress by one who was ‘unholy of works’ was a disguising of himself ‘in sheep's clothing’. The sense ‘shepherd’ seems to be irrelevant; moreover, even if it be intended here, the word with the long vowel indicated by the manuscript readings cannot well be of identical formation with the shep of the examples below.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

A shepherd.
