How Do You Spell BLEAR?

Pronunciation: [blˈi͡ə] (IPA)

The word "blear" is spelled with five letters, but pronounced with a combination of vowel and consonant sounds. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be written as /blɪər/. The first two sounds, /bl/, are a voiced bilabial stop followed by a voiced alveolar lateral approximant. The next two sounds, /ɪər/, form a diphthong that begins with an unrounded near-close near-front vowel and ends with a rhotic near-close central vowel. Together, these sounds create the distinctive pronunciation of "blear".

BLEAR Meaning and Definition

1. Blear, in verb form, refers to the action of making one's vision or eyesight blurred or dim, often due to fatigue, illness, or the effects of alcohol or drugs. This term can also indicate the act of crying or weeping, which can cause a person's eyes to become red and swollen, leading to blurred vision. In this context, blear may also encompass the emotional state of someone being tearful or sorrowful.

   As an adjective, blear describes the appearance of someone's eyes that are bleary or blurred, often due to tiredness, illness, or excessive use of substances. It denotes a lack of clarity or sharpness in the vision, giving the eyes a hazy or foggy appearance. Additionally, the word can be used metaphorically to describe someone's voice or speech as unclear, muffled, or indistinct, as if they are mumbling or slurring their words.

   The etymology of blear can be traced back to the Old English word "blīerian," which meant "to make dull or dim." Over time, the meaning of the term has expanded to encompass various aspects of blurred vision, including the physical act of blurring one's eyes as well as the emotional state associated with crying or experiencing sorrow.
