Rfv-sense "a doctor's degree in optometry". Seems to me like it's probably just English, or possibly Translingual, but I suppose it could be New Latin. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 22:49, 16 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

In Latin it could abbreviate a New Latin *"optometriae doctor". But for the full form, I only saw a few mentionings or non-Latin usages like English "[...] give the degree of O.D.--Optometriae Doctor, or Doctor of Optometry." The degree could be from the 20th century, hence it's more likely that it's not Latin but just English or at best Translingual. -84.161.13.81 23:54, 16 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
The RFV reasoning might also apply to the sense "oculus dexter, the right eye" (Eng OD, OS, OU do exists and were added in diff), and to the sense "the organ of sight; the eye"? For what should OD in that sense even stand? Added RFV-sense at least for "the organ of sight; the eye". -84.161.2.82 22:00, 18 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
RFV failed for the degree sense.__Gamren (talk) 23:29, 26 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Note that an anon sense-RFV'd the "organ of sight" sense as well; that one remains to be solved before archiving. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 15:38, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
Closed, as the RFV no longer exists for either sense. — surjection??15:21, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
