Where this word comes from

Inherited from Middle French aveugle from Old French avogle, from Late Latin ab oculīs (“without eyes”, literally “away from the eyes”), possibly a calque of Ancient Greek ἀπὸ ὀμμάτων (apò ommátōn) or more likely from Gaulish exops. The current French form is either an exception to the normal sound shift from Latin '-cl-' or a semi-learned formation; compare the dialectal and popular aveuil (older aveule, avule); see also œil.
