Best Answer

It means Eye Glasses.

----------------------------

2nd Answerer says: The word derives from the Latin 'luna', and was applied Middle French, literally meaning "little moon", to a type of horseshoe. As time went on, the term began to be applied to a variety of objects resembling a crescent moon.

"Lunettes" is a term that refers to eyeglasses with oval or circular lenses that are attached to a handle or held in front of the eyes. They were popular in the 18th century and are now mostly worn as a fashion accessory or for special occasions.

In French, the word "lunettes", means glasses. However, in architecture, a "lunette", is a shape like a half moon.
