"pleoapă"

Translation: eyelid

[Schattenparker]

eyelid = pleoapă possibly related to English pupil (of the eye)

[Schattenparker]

my mnemonic, though: eyelid = "full (Greek ple[i]o-) of water (apă)"

[Ursu_Brun]

Actually, "pupil" is "pupilă", both as the pupil of the eye, but also as a teacher's protégé, although this second one is not so common these days - it used to be 100yrs ago, with the home-schooling of rich kids or a specific kid attending a specific school on recommendation from a specific teacher, or some such relationships. (I know that in English "pupil" designates all school kids, but our word was adapted/adopted for a more particular situation.)
