sighted
if it comes from the Latin. I can only suspect that the person was described as blind or poor sighted

Although, I\'d like to add that, as is my personal experience, from the documents of \'Orientales\' come some of the weirdest pieces of official Spanish written , that I have ever encountered.

: Why did you add "psiquic"? In Spain "vidente" in the first place means someone who is able to see, in other words someone who's not blind. As simple as that.

Because in Mexico a "vidente" is also a psychic or someone that can see things others can't. Thank you so much Raul

seer
this is probably the most exact of translations, but I doubt that's what they meant. It was most likely one of the others already mentioned... fortune teller, psychic, etc.

Yo creo que se refiere a su habilidad para ver, en oposición a no vidente.
