The French word "blind" (borrowed from English) means "blind" or "unable to see." It can also refer to something done without prior knowledge, like "blind test."


Here, 'aveuglée' describes a metaphorical sense of being blinded, indicating the room being deprived of light.

Les fenêtres sont couvertes par des stores, donc la pièce est aveuglée de lumière.

The windows are covered with blinds, so the room is blinded by light.


This usage of 'stores', meaning 'blinds' in English, refers to physical window coverings.

Les stores empêchent la lumière directe d'entrer dans la pièce.

The blinds prevent direct sunlight from entering the room.


In this case, 'aveugle' metaphorically suggests a lack of understanding or perception.
