'anxious-eyed' originates from the English word 'anxious' combined with 'eyed', where 'anxious' meant 'worried or uneasy' and 'eyed' refers to the appearance of the eyes.

The term 'anxious-eyed' evolved from the combination of 'anxious' and 'eyed' in English, maintaining its meaning over time.

Initially, it meant 'having eyes that show worry or unease', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
