Before windows were used, old houses in Northern Europe and Britain were very dark. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof(屋顶) to let out the smoke form cooking fires. As time went on people began to make the holes bigger in order to have more light and air in their homes.

The first English window was just a small opening in the wall. It was cut long, to let in as much light as possible, and narrow(窄的), to keep out the bad weather. However, with the window cut long, more wind than light would come in. This is why it was called “The wind’s eye”. And the word “window ” comes form two ancient(古老) words for “wind” and “eye”.
