עֵין
ayin
Everyday HebrewMeaning1. The eye of something.
2. The spring of something.
HistoryThe word עַיִן (ayin) is very old and comes from the Bible. It has always meant "eye". Because a spring of water looks a little like an eye in the ground, the same word was also used for a spring. The form עֵין (ein) is used to connect it to another word, like "eye of the storm" or "spring of Gedi".
Example
עין גדי הוא מקום יפה.
Ein Gedi is a beautiful place.
