[Dixonary] Round 2825 SYCHT Defs - Vote Now!
Well, we've managed to keep the grandchildren occupied for a few hours with
lunch in Yo Sushi followed by shelf-gazing in the toy department of our local department store. When I got back my computer announced that it was doing the Windows 10 Creator's Update, which led to a further delay. Anyway, here are 13 defs of the word SYCHT, only one of which came from my dictionary.

I'll go for the lone Scots def and a namaycush because I don't know what

I like the derivation from "sight," so I'll try 4 and 12 - probably the wrong choices from that group.
