[Middle English, from Old Norse vindauga : vindr, air, wind; see wē- in the Appendix of Indo-European roots + auga, eye; see ok^w- in the Appendix of Indo-European roots.]

Word History: The source of our word window is a vivid metaphor. Window comes to us from the Scandinavian invaders and settlers of England in the early Middle Ages. Although we have no record of the exact word they gave us, it was related to Old Norse vindauga, "window," a compound made up of vindr, "wind," and auga, "eye," reflecting the fact that at one time windows contained no glass. The metaphor "wind eye" is of a type beloved by Norse and Old English poets and is called a kenning; other examples include Old Norse gjālfr-marr, "sea-steed," for "ship" and Old English hron-rād, &;ldquo;whale-road," for "sea."
