\Sha*green"\, n. [F. chagrin, It. zigrino, fr. Turk.
saghri the back of a horse or other beast of burden,
shagreen. Cf. {Chagrin}.]
1. A kind of untanned leather prepared in Russia and the
   East, from the skins of horses, asses, and camels, and
   grained so as to be covered with small round granulations.
   This characteristic surface is produced by pressing small
   seeds into the grain or hair side when moist, and
   afterward, when dry, scraping off the roughness left
   between them, and then, by soaking, causing the portions
   of the skin which had been compressed or indented by the
   seeds to swell up into relief. It is used for covering
   small cases and boxes.
2. The skin of various small sharks and other fishes when
   having small, rough, bony scales. The dogfishes of the
   genus {Scyllium} furnish a large part of that used in the
   arts.
