Etymology of EYELINER

The word "eyeliner" is composed of two elements: "eye" and "liner".

1. "Eye" comes from the Old English word "ēage", which is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*augǭ". This root can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European word "*h₃ekʷ-", meaning "to see" or "eye". Through various linguistic developments, the term "eye" has remained relatively consistent across many Germanic languages.

2. "Liner" is derived from the Middle English word "linere", meaning a "reinforce or strengthen by adding a layer". It originates from the Old French verb "liner" or "linet" (also meaning "to line" or "cover with a lining"). This, in turn, can be traced back to the Latin word "linea", which meant "a string, cord, or line".
