out of sight

Beyond visual range

Out of sight describes something not visible, either because it's hidden or too far away: Keep the presents out of sight until the party.

The phrase also means extraordinarily good or impressive, a sense that peaked in 1960s–70s slang but still surfaces: That guitar solo was out of sight.

Out of sight, out of mind suggests we forget what we don't see.
