nounirid (plural irids)
plural irids
- archaicThe iris of the eye.
Her eyes, whose colour I had not at first known, so dim were they with repressed tears, so shadowed with ceaseless dejection, now, lit by a ray of the sunshine that cheered her heart, revealed irids of bright hazel – irids large and full, screened with long lashes; and pupils instinct with fire.
1857, Charlotte Brontë, The Professor
