shinev.

Brit. /ʃʌɪn/, U.S. /ʃaɪn/
Forms: Past tense and participle shone /ʃɒn/. Forms: infinitive and present stem Old English scínan, scýnan, Middle English scine(n, Middle English schine(n, Middle English scyne, Middle English–1500s schine, Middle English–1700s schyne, (Middle English sine, Middle English schijne, ssine, ssyne, shyyne, Middle English schone (?), 1500s shynne), Middle English–1500s shyne, Middle English– shine. past tense Old English scán, sceán (plural scinon), Middle English sc(e)an, Middle English schon, Middle English shoon, s(c)hoen, Middle English–1500s schone, (Middle English scæn, s(c)on, shan, Middle English schoon, Middle English, 1600s shon, 1500s shoone), Middle English– shone; northernMiddle English sca(i)n, schan, Middle English shane, Middle English–1500s schane, Middle English chane; weak Middle English scynde, schyn(e)de, shynede, schinede, Middle English–1500s shyned, Middle English schynyd, schynit, 1500s schynet, schynnit, 1500s schyned, 1500s–1600s shinde, 1500s–1700s shin'd, 1600s shind, 1500s– (now U.S., dialect and archaic) shined. past participle Middle English sinen; Middle English–1500s shyned, 1600s shin'd, 1600s– shined; 1700s shon, 1500s– shone.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Common Germanic strong verb: Old English scínan (past tense scán, scinon, past participle *scinen) = Old Frisian skîna (West Frisian skine, North Frisian skiin), Old Saxon skînan (Middle Low German, Low German, Middle Dutch schînen, Dutch schijnen), Old High German scînan (Middle High German scînen, schînen, German scheinen to shine, to seem, appear), Old Norse skîna (Swedish skina), Gothic skeinan < Germanic *skinan, < root skῑ by means of the present-stem formative n, which was carried through into the past tense and participle.Affinities outside Germanic are Sanskrit chāyā shade, shimmer, modern Persian sāya , Greek σκιά , Old Slavonic sĕni , Albanian hē shade; for the sense compare shim n.1, shim v.1, shimmer v.1 The regular strong past participle is rare in English, being unrecorded in Old English and appearing only once in Middle English sinen; it was superseded by the weak form shined, which was in common use c1300–1800; this was supplanted by the form of the strong past tense, which first appears as past participle in the second half of the 16th cent. (Weak forms are found in some of the continental languages, e.g. (past tense) late West Frisian schynd, Middle Low German schynede, Old High German scînta, early modern German schein(e)te.)
