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.
