Not all shortening is oil, but all oil (consumable oil, that is) is shortening. Shortening is another word for fat used in cooking, especially baking.

(And some low-fat recipes substitute apple sauce or prune butter for traditional fat-based shortenings.)

Butter or lard, which shortening was designed to replace, will get the same results as shortening.
