Staring

The word staring comes from the root word stare, a fixed gaze. Its early meaning was "to be rigid," or "to stiffen," and later became "to look fixedly at." Staring is often rude, unless the person you are staring at is putting on a performance. Staring at the sun is not a good idea, since it can damage your eyes. When an answer is "staring you in the face," it should be obvious.
This gull is neither the sun nor putting on a performance. I asked it no question. A doubt if either of us were being rude. However, he was definitely staring at me.
