Etymology
Etymology Information

'accurately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'accuratus,' where 'ad-' meant 'toward' and 'curare' meant 'to take care of.' 'shown' comes from Old English 'sceawian,' meaning 'to look at or see.'

Historical Evolution

'accuratus' transformed into the French word 'accuré,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accurate.' 'sceawian' evolved into the Middle English 'schowen,' leading to the modern 'shown.'

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'accurate' meant 'done with care,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'correct or precise.' 'shown' has largely retained its original meaning of 'to display or reveal.'
