Definition: Wall-eyed
Wall-eyed
\Wall"-eyed`\, a. [Icel. valdeyg[eth]r, or vagleygr;
fr. vagl a beam, a beam in the eye (akin to Sw. vagel a
roost, a perch, a sty in the eye) + eygr having eyes (from
auga eye). See
Eye.]
Having an eye of a very light gray or whitish color. --Booth.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Shakespeare, in using wall-eyed as a term of reproach
(as
“wall-eyed rage,” a
“wall-eyed wretch”),
alludes probably to the idea of unnatural or distorted
vision. See the Note under
Wall-eye. It is an eye
which is utterly and incurably perverted, an eye that
knows no pity.
[1913 Webster]
