[Middle English, from Old English sceaduwe, oblique case of sceadu, shade, shadow.]
shad′ow·er n.Word History: Shade and shadow are not only related in meaning; historically they are the same word. In Old English, the ancestor of Modern English spoken a thousand years ago, nouns were inflected; that is, they had different forms depending on how they were used in a sentence. One of the inflected forms of the Old English noun sceadu, translatable as either "shade" or "shadow," was sceaduwe; this form was used when the word was preceded by a preposition (as in in sceaduwe, "in the shade, in shadow"). As time went on these two forms of the same word were interpreted as two separate words. The same thing happened to other Old English words, too: our mead and meadow come from two different case-forms of mǣd, the Old English word for "meadow."shadow (ˈʃædəʊ) n1. a dark image or shape cast on a surface by the interception of light rays by an opaque body2. an area of relative darkness3.

shadow
shadow1. the dark portions of a picture 2. Med a dark area on an X-ray film representing an opaque structure or part 3. (in Jungian psychology) the archetype that represents man's animal ancestors 4. Brit designating a member or members of the main opposition party in Parliament who would hold ministerial office if their party were in power Shadow A region of darkness caused by the presence of an opaque object interposed between such a region and a source of light. A shadow can be totally dark only in that part called the umbra, in which all parts of the source are screened off. With a point source, the entire shadow consists of an umbra, since there can be no region in which only part of the source is eclipsed. If the source has an appreciable extent, however, there exists a transition surrounding the umbra, called the penumbra, which is illuminated by only part of the source. Depending on what fraction of the source is exposed, the illumination in the penumbra varies from zero at the edge of the full shadow to the maximum where the entire source is exposed. The edge of the umbra is not perfectly sharp, even with an ideal point source, because of the wave character of light. See Diffraction What does it mean when you dream about a shadow?A shadow may represent the hidden aspects of the self. The dreamer often does not accept these parts of his or her personality and they are projected upon others until the dreamer can accept them and incorporate them into his or her psyche.
What does it mean when you dream about a shadow?In psychology, the shadow refers to the personality traits and tendencies that one has rejected in developing one’s self-image. One of the most influential formulations of the shadow was put forward by the famous Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. In Jung’s personality theory, the ego represents the individual’s sense of personal self. This sense of personal identity is purchased at the expense of certain tendencies (e.g., socially undesirable traits), however, which are rejected as “not-self.” According to Jung, these rejected traits come together as a kind of unconscious “counterego” that he termed the shadow. Although suppressed from conscious awareness, the shadow continues to influence our behavior in powerful ways. In particular, we may become unduly anxious or irritated when in an environment or around a person that in some way reminds us of repressed aspects of our self. If a person has rejected his or her own sexual drive, for example, that person may feel irrational fear or anger around an overtly sexual individual. The shadow may appear as a person in one’s dreams, usually as an individual of the same sex. In Jungian therapy, the shadow is viewed as a potential source of characteristics to be integrated into the subject’s ego structure. shadow[′shad·ō] (optics) A region of darkness caused by the presence of an opaque object interposed between such a region and a source of light. (physics) A region which some type of radiation, such as sound or x-rays, does not reach because of the presence of an object, which the radiation cannot penetrate, interposed between the region and the source of radiation.

The shadow pattern cast by light (e.g. sunlight, ceiling fixtures) is such a common sight that if light shines from the opposite direction (e.g. from the ground upward) the normal shadow pattern will be reversed and so will perception; depressions will appear as mounds or vice versa. Shadows offer a cue to depth perception, as when trying to judge the shape of objects.
