___ eye (glare said to bring bad luck) (4)

I believe the answer is:

evil

(Other definitions for evil that I've seen before include "Morally wrong" , "'The ... that men do lives after them' (Shakespeare)" , "Badness, depravity" , "very naughty" , "Vile (anag) -- really bad" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
