SHORE

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 1003 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SHORE , a word meaning (1) the margin or edge of
land
  when bordering on a large piece of
water
 , whether of an ocean or sea or lake, "
bank
  " taking its
place
  when applied to the borders on either side of a river; for the legal aspect of the " shore," i.e., the space bordering on tidal
waters
  between high and low
water
  mark, see
FORESHORE
 ; (2) a prop of
timber
 , used as a support, temporary or permanent, for a building when threatening to fall or during reconstruction (see SHORING), and more particularly a
timber
  support placed against a ship's side when building on the stocks, or when ready for launching on the slips; the props which are the final supports knocked away at the mcment of launching are called the " dog-shores," one of the very numerous uses of " dog " for mechanical devices of many kinds (see SHIP-BUILDING). Both words are to be derived ultimately from the same source, viz., the
root
  seen in " shear," to cut off; in sense (I) the word means a
part
  cut or " shorn " off, an edge, and appears in M.Eng. as schore, from O. Eng. sceran, to cut, shear; in sense (2) it is of Scandinavian origin and is an
adaptation
  of the Nor. shores, a piece of timber cut off to serve as a prop or support.
