ogled
Gazed at inappropriately
Ogled is the past tense of ogle, meaning to stare at someone with obvious sexual interest or desire.
The gaze is typically prolonged and unsubtle: He ogled her from across the bar.
The word carries a leering, somewhat predatory connotation—ogling suggests the stare is unwelcome or inappropriate.
