[(
d)JOAN] (n. m.) You know you've got issues if your ears are turning red from guilt, your face is green with envy and you've got
jaundiced eyes. The latter is thought to mean that you have a prejudiced view and it's the only one of these symptoms of real medical concern.
Jaundice occurs in people that have an increase in bilirubin, a
yellowish compound found in urine and bile, in the extracellular fluids. It gives the afflicted a
yellow tint to the face and, more obviously, the eyes.
Jaundice comes from the phonetically similar French word
jaunisse, which means
yellowness, and its cousin
jaune, which means
yellow.
