How to spell eyesight
What it means: Normal use of the faculty of vision.
In a sentence: A good night's sleep helps keep your eyesight strong.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as eyesite or eyesigt.
Same family: eye, sight, eyes, eyesighted, vision. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Eyesight is a compound of the words “eye” (from Old English *ēage*) and “sight” (from Old English *siht*), literally meaning “eye-sight” or “what the eye sees.” Over time, it has come to refer specifically to the ability or power of seeing.
Patterns it uses: i before e?
