Origin and Evolution of eyeball

First Known Use: 1250 year
Language of Origin: Old English
Story behind the word: The word 'eyeball' is believed to have originated from the Old English word 'ēagebeall', which was a combination of 'ēage' meaning 'eye' and 'beall' meaning 'ball'.
Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'eyeball' has remained relatively consistent in its usage to refer to the round, eyeball-shaped organ in the eye socket. However, its colloquial use has expanded to include phrases like 'eyeballing' something, meaning to visually inspect or estimate something.
