binocleEtymologyFrom French binocle, from Latin bi- (“two”) + oculus (“eye”).nounA kind of double-barrelled field glass or opera glass.“Anna did not look at her husband; but, taking her glass, she gazed at the place where Vronsky had fallen. It was so distant, and the crowd was so dense, that she could not make anything out of it. She dropped her binocle, and started to go; but at that instant an officer came galloping up to make some report to the emperor. Anna leaned forward, and listened.”
