sightlessness

/ˈsaɪtləsnəs/ noun

the characteristic of being sightless; blindness

Word Origin Sightlessness is built on sight, from Old English siht, ultimately from PIE *sek- 'to see.' The suffix -less means 'without,' and -ness makes it a noun: the state of being without sight. The same root gives us insight, oversight, and hindsight — all ways of seeing.
