4. Prayer beads
To remember prayers, or "
bids" or "
beads" little balls with holes were threaded on a string. These "
beads" eventually became known as "
prayer beads", a redundant name since it literally means "
prayer prayers".

Too aim a rifle, or shotgun, a round sphere of metal was placed at the end of the barrel. Since it looked like a "bead" it became know as that.
Your "beady eye" is one that takes aim at something as a target.
