睨にらむ
睨む is the base verb meaning 'to glare' or 'to stare sharply,' while 睨みつける adds the compound element つける, intensifying the action to a more forceful, piercing glare.

Etymology

Compound of 睨み (continuative form of 睨む, 'to glare') + つける (an auxiliary verb adding force or direction). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the combination yields an intensified meaning.
