Etymology
1. 1494, "to blind (someone's) judgment," from M.Fr. aveugler "delude, make blind," from V.L. *aboculus "without sight, blind," from L. ab- "without" + oculus "eye." Loan-transl. of Gk. ap ommaton "without eyes." Meaning "to win over by deceit, seduce" is c.1540.
2. Borrowed from Anglo-Norman enveugler, alteration of aveugler (“to blind, to delude”), from Old French avogle (“without eyes”), from Late Latin ab oculīs (“without eyes”, literally “away from the eyes”). The in- might be by analogy to variation between a- and en- in other French words, which was then latinised into in-.
3. For the pronunciation with /iː/, compare the development of people; that with /eɪ/ is presumably a spelling pronunciation.
