The phrase "Jaundiced eye" means to looks at something with a prejudiced view, usually in a rather negative or critical manner. It was thought that people who suffered with jaundice saw everything ini yellow tones, but evetuallyl the phrase "jaundiced eye" came to mean a prejudiced view instead. The word jaundice can mean one of three things: 1. Affected with jaundice 2. Yellow or yellowish 3. Affected by or exhibiting envy, prejudice or hostility It is this third definition that is taken when the phrase "jaundiced eye" is used. Jaundice is a yellowis discolouration of the skin, the whites of the eyes and other areas. It is caused by Hyperbilirubinemia, which is an increased level of bilirubin in the blood stream. It is this discolouration in the whites of the eye that lead to the expression "to look at something with Jaundiced eyes".
