Morphology

bleared = blear (transparent) = blear + ed

Formed by the verb 'blear' + '-ed' yielding an adjective meaning 'having blurred or dimmed vision', a regular and directly inferable derivation.

Etymology

Bleared comes from the old verb blear, which means 'to make the eyes dim or wet', and it is like the common word blur. So, if your eyes are bleared, your vision is 'blurred' or hard to see because of tiredness, tears, or strain.
