to show

Let others see

To show is to cause or allow something to be seen.

You show someone a photograph, show your ID at the door, or show the effects of a late night.

If a stain shows, it's visible.

To show someone how to do something is to demonstrate.

A movie showing is a scheduled screening.

To show up is to arrive, or to outperform someone embarrassingly: She showed him up in front of everyone.

A show is a performance or display—a TV show, a show of force, a fashion show.

Let's get this show on the road.
