Having the ability to see; not blind. Can also mean spotted or observed.
From Old English 'siht' meaning vision or appearance, related to 'sēon' meaning to see. The past participle form developed in Middle English to describe both the state of having sight and the action of seeing something.
The term 'sighted' reveals an interesting linguistic perspective where having vision is marked as a specific state rather than assumed as default. This reflects growing awareness of visual disability and the need for inclusive language in describing human sensory experiences.
