EYEBALLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Eyeballed is a verb that refers to the act of visually examining or estimating something, typically in a quick or cursory manner. The term originates from the concept of using one's eyes as a means of measurement or observation, often without the use of any formal tools or instruments.
When someone eyeballs something, they are relying solely on their visual perception and judgment to assess a particular object, person, or situation. This can involve making a rough estimate of size, distance, or quantity, based purely on what can be seen with the naked eye. For example, one might say they eyeballed the height of a building by simply glancing at it and making a rough calculation without using any measuring devices.
The term is commonly used in various contexts, such as in everyday conversations, sports, or even in professional settings. In sports, for instance, one might claim to have eyeballed the distance between players during a game, or the trajectory of a ball without relying on more accurate measurements.
Although the term "eyeballed" implies an informal or approximate way of gathering information, it can still prove useful in situations where more accurate measurements are not immediately available or necessary.

Etymology of EYEBALLED
The word "eyeballed" is derived from the noun "eyeball" which dates back to the late 15th century. It comes from the combination of "eye", referring to the organ of sight, and "ball", which in this context means a round object. The verb form "eyeballed" emerged later, using "ball" as a metaphor for looking at something closely or intently, as if one was moving their eyes like a ball. It is often used informally to mean looking at or observing something carefully.
