Eye
Definition:
(n.) A brood; as, an eye of pheasants.

(n.) The faculty of seeing; power or range of vision; hence, judgment or taste in the use of the eye, and in judging of objects; as, to have the eye of sailor; an eye for the beautiful or picturesque.
(n.) The action of the organ of sight; sight, look; view; ocular knowledge; judgment; opinion.
(n.) The space commanded by the organ of sight; scope of vision; hence, face; front; the presence of an object which is directly opposed or confronted; immediate presence.
(n.) That which resembles the organ of sight, in form, position, or appearance
(n.) The spots on a feather, as of peacock.
(n.) The scar to which the adductor muscle is attached in oysters and other bivalve shells; also, the adductor muscle itself, esp. when used as food, as in the scallop.
(n.) The bud or sprout of a plant or tuber; as the eye of a potato.
(n.) The center of a target; the bull's-eye.
(n.) A small loop to receive a hook; as hooks and eyes on a dress.

(n.) That which resembles the eye in relative importance or beauty.
