Right indexing radical
见 (Kangxi #147 in simplified form) — a person with an oversized eye, the picture of vision. Carries the entire meaning core of
视. Anchors the character in the seeing family alongside
观 (observe),
觉 (perceive),
览 (peruse). The contrast with
见:
见 is passive 'see,'
视 is active 'look at, regard.'
