vista

Vista comes from Italian vista, meaning "view" or "sight," which is the feminine past participle vista of vedere, "to see." Vedere traces back to Latin vidēre, also meaning "to see."

English borrowed the word directly from Italian with its meaning of a view already intact, so its sense has stayed close to "a sight seen," especially a broad or distant one.

It shares its Latin root vidēre with vision, video, and visa — all of them, at heart, about seeing.
