Shoe(d)

Consider the following sentence:


"She was not shod for church."



Does this mean that she was not wearing 'dress shoes' (the kind that was supposed to be worn for church)?


Note: Consider that this refers to the 1940's or so.

Yes.

(By the way, I have never heard anyone use the word 'shod' in conversation. To me it's strictly a word that you find in books, and then only rarely.)
