WORD HISTORY:
Ocular-This word is related to "eye," a word from the Germanic roots of English. "Ocular" goes back to Indo European "okew/okw," which meant, "to see." This gave Latin the noun "okulus," which meant, "eye." This produced the adjective "ocularis," meaning, "belonging to, or having to do with the eyes." This was borrowed into English as "ocular" in the early part of the 1500s.
