The verb that turns eyes into opinions before the brain signs off.
means To use your eyes to notice, search for, or direct your attention toward something — and by extension, to appear a certain way to others.
from From Old English 'locian,' meaning to use the eyes, to gaze or behold. It traces back to a West Germanic root shared with Old High German words for watching and paying heed, suggesting the act was always tangled up with attention and judgment, not just sight.
