Shôr'ling, n.

n. 1. The skin of a sheep shorn living, as distinct from the morling, or skin taken from the dead sheep; hence, in some parts of England, a shorling is a sheep shorn, and a morling is one that dies. 2. A person who is shorn; a shaveling; hence, in contempt, a priest. [Obs.] Halliwell.
