A
window, viewed from inside.
Etymology [edit]
From Middle English windowe, windohe, windoge, from Old Norse vindauga (“window”, literally “wind-eye", "wind-aperture", "wind-hole”), equivalent to wind + eye. Cognate with Scots wyndo, wyndok, winnock (“window”), Icelandic vindauga (“window”), Norwegian vindauga, vindu (“window”), Danish vindue (“window”). The “windows” in these times were just unglazed holes (eyes) in the wall or roof that permitted wind to pass through.
Pronunciation [edit]
