sight

(Verb) sight

1. (transitive) To register visually.
2. (transitive) To get sight of (something).

   to sight land from a ship

I do not see a difference between these two senses. The lookout up in the crow’s nest cannot get sight of land unless they register it visually, and when they register visually that there is land ahead, they did sight land. Or is there some intended distinction that I didn’t get? (I’m also inclined to make that which was sighted the subject of the intransitive verb register; the uses above feel ungrammatical to me.)  --Lambiam 11:40, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
