Definition
The edge of the land where it meets the ocean, including the beach and coastal area.
Etymology
Compound word: sea (Old English 'sæ') + shore (Old English 'scora'). Both parts are ancient, and the compound became standard by the medieval period.
Kelly Says
The seashore is one of Earth's most dynamic ecosystems—the exact line between land and sea changes daily with tides, and the waves constantly reshape the beach by moving tons of sand!
