The power to cause injury or misfortune, as in The tomatoes died shortly after planting? I must have an evil eye. The source of this expression is the ancient superstitious belief that some individuals could inflict harm on others simply by looking at them. Today the term is generally used figuratively or ironically, as above, and Also in the form give someone the evil eye, which means "glare malevolently at someone."
