A sty is a small painful bump near the edge of your eyelid caused by infection, or a dirty area where pigs are kept.

'Sty' has two main meanings: an eye infection (medical) and a pig's pen (farm). As an insult, it can mean any very dirty place. The eye problem is countable ('a sty'), while in the farm sense, 'sty' often appears as 'pigsty'.
