sight
ro.i refers to visual appearance or visibility, and in one participial use to one who sees.
The predominant use concerns what is visible or presented to view: a person's appearance, removal from view, or being made a public spectacle. One participial occurrence describes the act of seeing and identifies an eye as the observer.
