Etymology
From Ancient Greek ἄποψις (ápopsis) 'distant view, prospect', formed from ἀπό (apó, 'from, away') plus ὄψις (ópsis, 'sight, seeing'). The original spatial sense of a 'view from afar' shifted metaphorically to 'point of view, opinion' in later and Modern Greek. The element ὄψις belongs to the inherited Indo-European root for seeing.
