The word 'angeleyes' is a modern compound formed from 'angel' and 'eyes', where 'angel' refers to a celestial being and 'eyes' refers to the organs of sight.

'Angel' comes from Old English 'engel', from Latin 'angelus', from Greek 'angelos' meaning 'messenger'. 'Eyes' comes from Old English 'ēage'. The compound 'angeleyes' is a recent creative formation in English.

Initially, 'angeleyes' was not a standard word, but as a compound, it has come to mean 'eyes like those of an angel', emphasizing beauty and purity.
