Eyed

/aɪd/

आँखों वाला/वाली; (eye का भूतकाल) ध्यान से/संदेह से देखा

Origin & History

Adjective use is from the noun “eye” + -ed, meaning “having”; the verb “eye” (to watch) is from Middle English, from Old English “ēage” (eye).

विशेषण रूप “eye” (आँख) + “-ed” से बना है, अर्थ “जिसमें/जिसका … हो”; क्रिया “eye” (ध्यान से देखना) मध्य अंग्रेज़ी से विकसित हुई, जिसका मूल प्राचीन अंग्रेज़ी “ēage” (आँख) है।

Definition

Used mainly as a suffix in compounds (e.g., blue-eyed, one-eyed) meaning “having such eyes,” and also as the past tense/past participle of the verb “eye,” meaning “to look at attentively or suspiciously.”

यह शब्द प्रायः यौगिक शब्दों में प्रत्यय की तरह (जैसे blue-eyed, one-eyed) “ऐसी आँखों वाला/वाली” के अर्थ में आता है; और क्रिया “eye” का भूतकाल/भूतकृदंत भी है, जिसका अर्थ है “ध्यान से या संदेहपूर्वक देखना।”
