εἶδος
eîdos
form
Visible form, shape, or outward appearance; refers to the discernible aspect under which something appears to the observer—what is apprehended by sight. In extended usage, can also denote a kind, sort, or class distinguished by form. The dominant sense is the physical or perceptible shape or figure, but can, in philosophical and literary contexts, refer to an idealized form or essential appearance underlying particular things.

| Rendering Rationale | The perfect active participle denotes one who has completed the act of seeing with a present resulting state. "Having seen" preserves the root sense of sight (εἰδ-) while reflecting the completed aspect and participial form. |
