Dewy-eyed for Dummies

Alright, so the word "dewy-eyed" is kind of like saying that someone is innocent or naive. When we say someone is dewy-eyed, we mean that they have a kind of innocent, pure look in their eyes, like a little kid who hasn't seen much of the world yet. It's like they have this brightness and openness in their eyes that shows they haven't been through a lot of tough stuff yet. It's a really poetic way of describing someone's innocence or naivety.

For example, if we were talking about a character in a story, we might say that they have a dewy-eyed innocence, meaning they are very pure and unsullied by the rough things in life. It's kind of like the image of dew on a leaf in the morning, all fresh and untouched by anything. So, when we say someone is dewy-eyed, we're saying they have that same kind of fresh, untouched innocence.

So, if you see this word in a book or hear it in a conversation, you'll know that the person being described is someone who seems innocent and wide-eyed, like they haven't been through a lot yet. Does that make sense to you?
