The meaning of 示してみせろ


> **その点に不服があるのなら、学校側が納得するようにこの1年間で示してみせろ。**

**示す** : 1. to (take out and) show; to demonstrate; to tell; to exemplify; to
make apparent​, 2. to point out (finger, clock hand, needle, etc.)​, 3. to
indicate; to show; to represent; to signify; to display.

**見せる** / **みせろ** : 1. show, 2. display.

I can't find any references related to **示してみせろ** , except in a song by a
Japanese band **Lustknot.** " **Decayed My Skin** ". One of the fans translate
**示してみせろ** as "show a sign", but it's not quite fit the sentence I found in
light novel.

I'm confused with the 2 words with an almost similar meaning put together into
a word. I have a feeling that it simply means "to show", but it's like an
emphasize, and perhaps "to show (with enthusiasm feeling)".

Thank you for your kind guidance.

This is meaning 1 of course.

It means to "make (something) clear" to the school, like "show them what's
wrong". You could have for example がんばってみせろ = show them (みせろ) that you're
capable of trying hard (がんばって), etc.

> I can't find any references related to 示してみせろ,

It's just the combination of two words, 示して and みせろ so I don't know why there
would be references for that in particular.
