sightline

/sˈaɪtlaɪn/ noun

A line between an observer or a piece of optical equipment and an object of interest; line of sight.

Word Origin A compound of sight and line — a sightline is the line from an observer's eye to the viewed object. Sight comes from Proto-Germanic sihtiz, related to see, and gives us insight, foresight, and oversight. Line is from Latin linea 'string, thread,' also giving us linear, outline, and deadline. So a sightline is literally a 'sight line.'

noun A line between an observer or a piece of optical equipment and an object of interest; line of sight. countable
