'amblyope' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'amblyōps,' where 'amblys' meant 'dull' and 'ōps' meant 'eye.'

'amblyōps' transformed into the French word 'amblyope,' and eventually became the modern English word 'amblyope.'

Initially, it meant 'dull eye,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a person with reduced vision in one eye.'
