unsees
Willfully stops perceiving
Unsees is the third-person singular of unsee, meaning to undo the act of seeing—to remove something from memory or consciousness.
The word acknowledges impossibility even as it's used: I can't unsee that.
Often appears in the wish I wish I could unsee it, expressing regret at having witnessed something disturbing or unpleasant.
