1828 Definition

SHORE, the old. pret. of shear. Obs.

SHORE, n. The coast or land adjacent to the sea, or to a large lake or river. This word is applied primarily to land contiguous to water; but it extends to the ground near the border of the sea or of a lake, which is covered with water. We also use the word to express the land near the border of the sea or of a great lake, to an indefinite extent; as when we say, a town stands on the shore. We do not apply the word to land contiguous to a small stream. This we call a bank.

SHORE, n. [The popular but corrupt pronunciation of sewer; a pronunciation that should be carefully avoided.]

SHORE, n. A prop; a butress; something that supports a building or other thing.

SHORE, v.t.

1. To prop; to support by a post or butress; usually withsup; as, to shore up a building.

2. To set on shore. [Not in use.]

Noah Says...
The brief exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.

Happy Birthday Noah
October 16, 2009 represents the 251st. In honor of his birthday, we have decided to make this vision website and the new 1828 dictionary website live. Although both websites are a work in progress, we feel it is important to demonstrate the progress of Project::Noah and solicit feedback from the community. Please take a look around and offer suggestions to help us make this project successful.
