问题    The first English window was just a slit in the wall. (29) It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind’s eye". The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.
