shingle
Overlapping roof piece
A shingle is a flat piece of material—wood, slate, or asphalt—used in overlapping rows to cover roofs and walls.
The verb means to apply such covering: We shingled the roof last summer.
A shingle is also a small signboard, especially for a professional practice: hang out your shingle.
Separately, shingle refers to coarse gravel on a beach: walking across the shingle to the water.
