[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin aegilōps, from Ancient Greek αἰγίλωψ (aigílōps, “haver-grass, Aegilops neglecta”).
Noun
[edit]aegilops (plural aegilopses)
- An ulcer or fistula in the inner angle of the eye.
- 1823, Encyclopaedia Britannica, 6th edition, volume 2, page 205:
- If the ægilops be neglected, it bursts, and degenerates into a fistula, which eats into the bone.
- 1829, Thomas Curtis (editor), The London Encyclopaedia: or, Universal Dictionary of Science, Art, Literature, And Practical Mechanics, Volume I: A to America,
- If the ægilops be accompanied with an inflammation, it is supposed to take its rise from the abundance of blood, which a plethoric habit discharges on the corner of the eye.
- 1846, Paulus Aegineta, translated by Francis Adams, The Seven Books of Paulus Ægineta, volume 2, page 284:
- The ægilops is an apostematous swelling between the great canthus and the nose ; and it is an affection difficult to cure, owing to the thinness of the bodies, and the fear of injuring the eye by sympathy.
- (obsolete) The goatgrass (Aegilops spp.) or other grass found as a corn-weed.
