(n.) The action of the organ of sight; sight, look; view; ocular knowledge; judgment; opinion.
(n.) The space commanded by the organ of sight; scope of vision; hence, face; front; the presence of an object which is directly opposed or confronted; immediate presence.
(n.) That which resembles the organ of sight, in form, position, or appearance
(n.) The spots on a feather, as of peacock.
