Yes, I also see that Throughsighty does seem a little odd to the ears. "See-through" is just as good. I've seen some of this oddness with some of the words brought straightly from Old English. I do not think this is the best way to get Anglish out. There would be...sorry... there IS backlash from this kind of Anglish (which I've seen on Wiktionary). English of today should be the first thing we look at to make words.

I also love the Forstand word. Many of the German languages have many meanings for the prefix ''"For-." It can be used many ways like "to Forgold something" ''meaning "to turn into gold." (from German vergolden) If you have not read on the German ver-, you should read https://yourdailygerman.com/2013/10/23/german-prefix-ver-meaning/   (part 1) and https://yourdailygerman.com/2013/11/01/german-prefix-ver-explained/    (part 2). It gave me a whole new insight into ver-, and it explains it well.
