monoculusn.adj.

Brit.

/mɒˈnɒkjᵿləs/,

/məˈnɒkjᵿləs/, U.S.

/məˈnɑkjələs/

Inflections: Plural monoculi.

Forms: late Middle English– monoculus, 1500s monoculos.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin monoculus, Monoculus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin monoculus the caecum (1363 in Chauliac), a one-eyed person or creature (7th cent.; from 12th cent. in British sources), irregularly < ancient Greek μονο- mono- comb. form + classical Latin oculus (see oculus n.). In sense A. 3 independently < scientific Latin Monoculus, so called because most of the animals have a single eye, or have eyes very close together.With use as adjective compare post-classical Latin monoculus , adjective (from 12th cent. in British sources); compare Italian†monoculo (1598 in Florio glossed ‘that hath but one eie. Also..the blinde gut’). The word is perhaps attested earlier in sense A. 2 as a surname, Simon Monoculus (1212), though it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as Middle English or post-classical Latin.
