This word dates to the late 15th century and originally meant "to blind (someone's) judgment". It comes from Middle French aveugler ("delude, make blind") which derives from Vulgar Latin *aboculus ("without sight, blind"). The Vulgar Latin word is based on Latin ab- + oculus ("without" + "eye"). The sense of winning over by deceit or "seduce" dates to the 1530's.
