New article is clear-sighted (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

realistic

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

'clear-sighted' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'new article is' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'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 "Pragmatic" , "Lifelike" , "accurate picture" , "Facing facts, as it is clear" , "Faithful" .)
