The original notion appears to have been ‘internal [[sight]]’, i.e. with the [[eyes of the mind]] or [[understanding]] (see in adv. 12c). Compare the same use of in- in [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English] ''inwit'' (sometimes an equivalent of insight ), and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._600-1100.09THE_OLD_ENGLISH.2C_OR_ANGLO-SAXON_PERIOD Old English] ''inȝehyȝd'' , ''inȝeþanc'' , etc. But subsequently there arose a tendency to [[analyze]] the [[word]] as [[sight]] or seeing into a [[thing]] or subject, although even so there usually remained the notion of [[penetrating]] into things or seeing beneath their [[surface]] with the eyes of the [[understanding]].
