Poggled

a person studying a book with a magnifying glass

Poggled

adj.
shocked upon looking twice at something you see every day and catching an obvious detail you’d never noticed before—an old scar on your loved one’s knee, a wall in your house that’s apparently always been purple, or a prominent building that seemed to appear in your neighborhood overnight—which makes you wonder how much else of your world you might be missing, when you’re just barely there yourself.

Macedonian поглед (pogled), a glimpse. Pronounced “pog-uhld.”
