👁️🌾 视 sight + 野 field = field of sight, your field of vision
视 carries the sense of seeing (as in 视力 eyesight), and 野 means open field or wild land. Stack them and you get the stretch of field your eyes can cover: your visual field or view.
野 — 里 (village) + 予 (phonetic)
Originally written 埜 (forest 林 over earth 土), depicting wild land beyond cultivated fields. The modern form 野 combines 里 (village/settled land) with 予 as a phonetic component, keeping the meaning of open country, wilderness, or untamed.
