Definitions

  1. look at with amorous intentions

Word origin

17th century. Probably from Low German ögeln (“to ogle, to flirt with one's eyes”), from Middle Low German ö̂gelen, frequentative of Middle Low German ö̂gen, from Old Saxon ōgian, from Proto-West Germanic *augijan (“to show”). Alternatively from an equivalent Dutch *ogelen, but this seems unattested (only the simplex ogen). By surface analysis, eye + -le.

Used in a sentence

  • And ogling all their audience, ere they speak.
  • "Come and see!" and the old creature ogled Carrados with her beady eyes as though the situation constituted an excellent joke between them.
  • Will you take a varder at the cartz on the feely-omi in the naf strides: the one with the bona blue ogles polarying the omi-palone with a vogue on and a cod sheitel.
