The word then came to signify romantic meetings, as in blind date, double date, and hot date. It was not until the 19th century that date began to be used for an appointment or engagement at a specified time. The word was then borrowed into Middle English from Anglo-French. Anglo-French borrowed the word as date with the same meaning but also used it to denote any given point in time. Aprilis.' (Translated: I gaveВ at Rome April 1-the kalends of April.) A later wording was data Romae, 'given at Rome,' instead of datam Romae, 'I gave at Rome.' Data, the past participle of Latin dare, had the feminine ending in this case because of its association with the noun epistula, meaning 'letter.' (The common word data, referring to facts or information is related: it is from Latin datum, meaning 'something given,' and, in turn, datus, the past participle of dare.)Дata eventually came to name the time of writing or executing a letter or document. The English word date in its temporal sense, in spite of semantic and phonetic similarity, has nothing to do etymologically with day but is descended from Latin dare, meaning 'to give.' In ancient Rome, the date of a letter was written in this manner: 'Datam Romae Kal. The slang term beer goggles, which refers to the effects of alcohol thought of metaphorically as a pair of goggles that alter a person's perceptions especially by making others appear more attractive than they actually are, was brewed in the 1980s.

The plural form goggles was first sighted as a designation for a pair of protective glasses in the early 18th century. The related term googly-eyed is then envisioned, but not until circa 1900. In time, goggle begins to be used as an adjective to mean 'protuberant' or 'staring' (as in 'the close-up focused on the actor's enormous goggle eyes'), which brings into focus goggle-eyed in the 18th century. English writer Samuel Butler, in his 17th-century narrative poem Hudibras, tersely exemplifies use of the verb in the phrase 'wink, and goggle like an owl' (after hours, you might also see people goggling).

It is believed to be an alteration of goggle, which is first seen as a verb meaning 'to turn the eyes to one side or the other' in the 14th century. Its first appearance was caught in English in the late 19th century. Katy Perry made goo-goo eyes at contestant Nick Merico on вЂњAmerican IdolвЂќ Monday. The term ' goo-goo eyes' implies a foolishly sentimental, romantic, or amorous glance (as in 'she made goo-goo eyes at him').
