shaw
n.

“strip of wood forming the border of a field,” 1570s, from old english sceaga “copse,” cognate with north frisian skage “farthest edge of cultivated land,” old norse skage “promontory,” and perhaps with old english sceaga “rough matted hair” (see sh-g (n.)). the old english word also is the source of the surname shaw (attested from late 12c.) and its related forms.
