Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term is a native English compound combining the adverb 'far' (from Old English 'feor') and 'sighted', derived from the noun 'sight' (from Old English 'gesihð'). Originally used literally in the 16th century to describe physical vision capable of discerning distant objects, it underwent a semantic extension by the 17th century to metaphorically denote intellectual foresight and prudent planning for the future.
