Origin & History

Formed in modern English from the phrase 'open (someone’s) eyes' meaning 'make someone aware', using the compound adjective 'eye-opening' (20th century, popularized especially in American English).

यह आधुनिक अंग्रेज़ी में 'open (someone’s) eyes' (किसी को सचेत/जागरूक करना) वाले अर्थ से बना यौगिक विशेषण है; 20वीं सदी में प्रचलन बढ़ा, विशेषकर अमेरिकी अंग्रेज़ी में।
