The term initially had an anatomical meaning and was used to refer to the pupil. Gregory's Pastoral Care, a work credited to King Aelfred (the Great) of Wessex, first used the term in Old English in 885 AD. Shakespeare included it in his play A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1600, and it also appeared in English Bible translations in 1611. However, after appearing in Sir Walter Scott's novel Old Mortality in 1816, the term became more widely used.
