Origin and Evolution of farsighted

First Known Use: 0015 year

Language of Origin: Middle English

Story behind the word: The word 'farsighted' originated from Middle English, where 'far' meant distant and 'sighted' referred to having the ability to see. The combination of these two words created the concept of being able to see things that are far away clearly.

Evolution of the word: Over time, the word 'farsighted' has come to be used not only in a literal sense of being able to see distant objects clearly, but also in a metaphorical sense to describe someone who can anticipate future events or outcomes with wisdom and foresight.
