Eyebridled

/ˈaɪbrɪdəld/ adjective

Definition

Bridled or controlled in terms of vision; possibly refers to a horse with blinkers or restrictions on its field of vision.

Etymology

Compound of 'eye' and 'bridled' (from Old French 'bride,' a bridle). This appears to be a rare or technical equestrian term.

Kelly Says

Horses wearing blinders have their eyes bridled—limited to forward vision—so they can't spook at side movement. It's practical engineering of perception.
