oversightly

== English == === Etymology === First attested in November 1999; a calque of the German übersichtlich (“readily viewable, clearly seen”), equivalent to over- +‎ sight +‎ -ly. === Adjective === oversightly (comparative more oversightly, superlative most oversightly) (rare, nonstandard, of a graphical user interface) Offering a clear and readily grasped overview (of something). 1999 November 21st, Henrik Egedorf, rec.photo.equipment.35mm, “Re: Nikon 8008 and N70” (see the original message) If you don’t like the look, feel and handling of the camera – don’t buy it! I have it, and I like the oversightly LCD display. 2006 December 6th, Bram Vink, rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad, “Re: Pack Alpha Ponderings” (see the original message) It’s better (more oversightly, less buggy) than the vtesonline engine. 2009 September 15th, Jonathan L Cunningham, rec.arts.sf.composition, “Re: OT: news reader software” (see the original message) [2009 September 9th, Tina Hall]: Very ‘uebersichtlich’…which means it’s easy to over-look (not meaning ‘miss’) and use at a glance, everything in its proper place. I’d translate it as “oversightly”…mean[ing] something like “giving a good oversight of (itself)”.
