noun
Refers to a person's physical appearance or facial features. Somewhat literary or old-fashioned; in modern casual speech, 見た目 or 外見 are more common.
彼女は見目が美しいだけでなく、心も優しい。
She is not only beautiful in appearance but also kind-hearted.
見目より中身が大切だ。
What's inside is more important than looks.
Compound of 見 (mi, 'seeing') + 目 (me, 'eye'), literally 'seeing eye', which came to mean 'appearance' or 'looks'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain.
