Ogle

Northumberland village name

To ogle is to stare at someone with obvious sexual interest or desire, usually in a way that makes the attention unwelcome: He ogled her from across the bar.

The word suggests leering—eyes lingering too long on someone's body.

An ogle is such a look: She caught his ogle and moved away.
