English Synonyms and Antonyms(3.00 / 2 votes)Rate these synonyms:

1. sight

   The phrase battle array or array of battle is archaic and poetic; we now say in line or order of battle. The parade is for exhibition and oversight, and partial rehearsal of military manual and maneuvers. Array refers to a continuous arrangement of men, so that all may be seen or reviewed at once. This is practically impossible with the vast armies of our day. We say rather the disposition of troops, which expresses their location so as to sustain and support, though unable to see or readily communicate with each other. Compare DRESS.

   Synonyms:
   army, arrangement, array, battle array, collection, disposition, exhibition, line of battle, order, order of battle, parade, show

How to use sight in a sentence?

1. Butler:

   The truest characters of ignorance Are vanity, pride, and arrogance; As blind men use to bear their noses higher Than those that have their eyes and sight entire.

2. William Shakespeare, "Macbeth", Act 2 scene 1:

   Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?

3. Edna Ferber:

   Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight.

4. Rachel Bagley:

   They were walking around the lake, they got around to the back side of the lake. Maddox Scott Ritch started running, according to the parents, and when they started running after Maddox Scott Ritch, they lost sight of Maddox Scott Ritch, and no one has seen Maddox Scott Ritch ever since.

5. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate:

   I sometimes wonder that life can probably be compared best to a Rose Garden. Some writers like to do so in their efforts to romanticize life. Often as we walk through the rose garden, we become refreshed and rejuvenated by the warm, pleasant and sensuous breeze that carries captivating exquisite fragrance of beautiful roses. Life seems so remarkably wonderful at that very moment. Then on some occasions as we walk through the same rose garden, the sight of dried rose bushes with wilted flowers, dried rose petals and heaps of dead leaves all around saddens us deep inside. The cold callous currents of strong wind make us shiver, with the shocking harsh reality about the uncertainty of life. Oh, life can be so awesome and beautiful at times, and yet so cold and cruel on occasions. Such is the duality of life that reverberates and resonates in sync with the Rose Garden!
