star-blindadj.¹

Brit.

/ˌstɑːˈblʌɪnd/, U.S.

/ˈstɑrˌblaɪnd/

Forms: early Old English staerblind, Old English stærblind, late Old English stæreblind, late Old English–early Middle English stareblind, early Middle English starblynd, 1800s–1900s star-blind.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian stareblind , starblind , Middle Low German stāreblindt , stārblindt , Middle Dutch staerblint (Dutch regional staarblind ), Old High German starablint (Middle High German starblint , German starblind , now rare and regional) < a Germanic base with the sense ‘rigid’ (see below) + the Germanic base of blind adj. The first element is not attested in Old English as a simplex, but is apparently cognate with Middle Dutch (rare) sterre , starre , Middle Low German star , Middle High German sterre (German starr ), Old Icelandic starr , all in sense ‘stiff, rigid’ < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek στερεός stiff, solid (see stereo- comb. form); the same Germanic base is reflected also by stare v. and (with suffixation) stark adj., start v., and starve v. Compare ( < Middle Low German) Old Swedish starblinder (Swedish starrblind ), Danish starblind (already in early modern Danish), Old Gutnish starblindr , and also the (apparently rare) nouns Old Icelandic starblinda , Old Swedish starblinda state of being star-blind. Compare also Middle Dutch staer (of the face) rigid, expressionless, having a fixed gaze (apparently a back-formation < staerblint ; early modern Dutch staar ), and also the nouns Middle Dutch star fixed gaze (Dutch staar cataract in the eyes), Middle Low German stār fixedness of the eyes in death, cataract of the eyes, German Star cataract in the eyes, glaucoma, and ( < Middle Low German) Swedish starr , Danish stær (in early modern Danish also star ) cataract in the eyes. Some later uses show associations, both punning and folk-etymological, with (respectively) star n.¹ (in quot. 1878 and perhaps also quot. 1916¹; compare star-blind adj.²) and starling n.¹ (in quot. 1916²; compare stare n.¹). Compare the alterations stark blind adj. and start blind adj., which superseded this word in general use from the 14th cent. Compare also staring blind at staring adv. 1.

rare (chiefly archaic) in later use.

Totally or partially blind; (sometimes) spec. having vision obscured by a cataract or cataracts.In quot. eOE glossing post-classical Latin scotomaticus (see scotomatical adj.), which refers to impairment of vision associated with dizziness.The precise meaning of the term in Old and Middle English is not always clear, and has been variously interpreted by later writers.
