Word origin
The term 'unfarsighted' is a neologism formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to the word 'farsighted'. Farsighted originally referred to having good vision for distant objects, but over time, its meaning evolved to include the ability to foresee future events. Unfarsighted, therefore, describes the opposite - a lack of ability to anticipate future events.
