'revealed?' is the definition.
('show' can be a synonym of 'reveal')

'hush due' is the wordplay.
'hush' becomes 'sh' (both are used to tell someone to be quiet).
'due' becomes 'owed' (synonyms).
'sh'+'owed'='SHOWED'

'to what was' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for showed that I've seen before include "Demonstrated or displayed" , "Demonstrated or depicted" , "presented" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
