Description
The word window originates from the Old Norse 'vindauga', from 'vindr � wind' and 'auga�eye', i.e., wind eye. In Norwegian Nynorsk and Icelandic the Old Norse form has survived to this day (in Icelandic only as a less used synonym to gluggi), in Swedish the word vind�ga remains as a term for a hole through the roof of a hut, and in the Danish language 'vindue' and Norwegian Bokm�l 'vindu', the direct link to 'eye' is lost, just like for 'window'. The Danish (but not the Bokm�l) word is pronounced fairly similarly to window.
