Answer 4

I have no idea why the peppermint flavoured sweet is called a bull's eye.

I imagined the Bull's eye in the centre of a dart board was named because it is red, and a bull was supposed to become angry when it saw red.

But according to a dictionary is also means the centre boss formed in making a sheet of spun glass: a thick lens or round bit of glass, as in a lantern: and a round opening or window, it could just be it's round shape.

The Brewers dictionary of phase and fable, gives its meaning, but no explanation.

Answer 7

The Online Etymology Dictionary says "bull's-eye" was first used to describe "center for target" in 1833. While Wordsmith.org speculates that's due to the "earlier agro-economy and the importance of bovine animals," we're inclined to believe the origin described by The Word Detective. They claim the popular use of the term for pretty much anything small and round began in the 17th century. Often, it included a protruding lump in the center, but not always. Why a bull instead of a cow, chicken, or goat? Unfortunately, nobody knows.
