Morphology

clear-sighted = clear + sighted (transparent) = clear + sight + ed

The adjective is a straightforward compound of 'clear' + 'sighted' (sight + -ed) denoting plainly visible vision.

Etymology

Clear-sighted comes from clear 'easy to see' and sight 'to see'. So a clear-sighted person or animal has sharp vision and can 'see' things clearly.
