evil eye (wicked look conveying dislike or envy believed to be able to cause bad luck or injury; the ability to cause bad luck or injury through such a look)
çekim: çoğul złe oczy · tamlayan złego oka
köken: Literally, “evil eye”. Calque of Latin oculus malus.
çekim: geçmiş skulede · ortaç skulet · ulaç skulende
köken: Influenced by skjule (“to conceal, hide, stare to the side”), perhaps ultimately from Middle Low German or Middle Dutch schulen (“to hide, take shelter”). Or, from Proto-Germanic *skelhaz (“squint-eyed”), related to Old English sceolh (“squinting”), Old Norse skjalgr (“squinting, askew”).
