overlooks
Has view over
Overlooks has two main senses that point in opposite directions.
To overlook something is to have a view over it from above: The balcony overlooks the harbor.
But to overlook is also to fail to notice or to excuse: I overlooked the error, We can overlook it this once.
The first meaning implies seeing everything; the second implies missing something.
