realistic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clear-sighted' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'foreign article is' is the wordplay.
'foreign' indicates anagramming the letters (foreign order of the letters).
'article'+'is'='articleis'
'articleis' with letters rearranged gives 'REALISTIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for realistic that I've seen before include "Faithful" , "Objective" , "It is clear (anag)" , "It is clear, being practical and sensible" , "Level-headed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
