Noun

irid (plural irids)

1. (archaic) The iris of the eye.
   • 1857, Charlotte Brontë, The Professor:

     Her eyes, whose colour I had not at first known, so dim were they with repressed tears, so shadowed with ceaseless dejection, now, lit by a ray of the sunshine that cheered her heart, revealed irids of bright hazel – irids large and full, screened with long lashes; and pupils instinct with fire.
