Definition
A bruise around the eye, typically dark purple or black, usually caused by a punch or impact to the face.
Etymology
Compound word from 'black' (the color of the bruise) and 'eye,' literally describing the darkened appearance of the injured eye. The term has been used since at least the 19th century.
Kelly Says
A 'black eye' is actually caused by bleeding under the skin (a hematoma) that appears dark due to the blood's color—so the term is medically accurate, even though the bruise can be blue, purple, or yellow as it heals.
