New English words to learn, What is Myopic?
Myopic is an adjective and pronounces as “mye-OH-pik”.
Definition:
- affected by myopia : of, relating to, or exhibiting myopia : nearsighted
- lacking in foresight or discernment : narrow in perspective and without concern for broader implications
Myopic Origin:
Myopia is a condition in which visual images come to a focus in front of the retina of the eye, resulting in defective vision of distant objects.
Those with myopia can be referred to as “myopic” (or, less formally, “nearsighted”).
Myopic has extended meanings, too. Someone myopic might have trouble seeing things from a different perspective or considering the future consequences before acting.
Myopic and myopia have a lesser-known relative, myope, meaning “a myopic person.” All of these words ultimately derive from the Greek myops, which comes from myein (meaning “to be closed”) and ops (meaning “eye, face”).
