Word: polaroid Part of Speech: noun Etymology: A genericization of the trademark Polaroid, owned by Polaroid Corporation. 1. A sheet of plastic embedded with microscopic crystals of herapathite or similarly acting material, so that light passing through it is polarized. Example: In the simplest form of this system, applicable to many microscopes, the substage polar consists only of semicircles of polaroid orientated to give respective planes of polarisation at right angles.

Spectacles made with lenses of this material, once used to view certain 3-D movies, now used as sunglasses.
