The word evokes a sense of release and detachment. Whether it is a biological process like losing fur or a financial decision to cut costs, there is an inherent feeling of letting go of something that is no longer needed or useful to the entity. In a visual sense, it carries a duality between the physical act of dropping something and the intellectual act of clarifying. Casting light to reveal a truth is a metaphorical extension of the physical act of shedding a covering to reveal what lies beneath.

A shed is a physical structure in a backyard.
