Morphology

farsight = far (semi-transparent) = far + sight

The compound 'far' + 'sight' yields a metaphorical meaning of visionary planning; the components are clear but the abstract sense is a figurative extension.

Etymology

Farsight is made of far ('at a distance') and sight ('to see'). Think of it like foresight: it means the ability to 'see' ahead into the future and plan wisely.
