kính đeo mắt
/ˈɡlɑːsɪz/
The word "glasses" for eye wear comes from the Middle English "glassen," meaning "made of glass." This term originally referred to any object made of glass, but it gradually became associated specifically with eye wear as glass lenses became more common. The "s" at the end of "glasses" makes it plural, reflecting the fact that eye wear typically comes in a pair. This usage dates back to the 16th century, highlighting the long history of using glass to aid vision.
a pair of lenses set in a frame resting on the nose and ears, used to correct or assist defective eyesight.
một cặp thấu kính được đặt trong khung nằm trên mũi và tai, được sử dụng để điều chỉnh hoặc hỗ trợ thị lực bị khiếm khuyết.
