See = V (abr of Vide, latin for see)
+ A + RY (railway/track)

Such a lot of parsing for such a short word, Thanks Shooty, thanks Malone, I wasn't even close.

Shooty, thanks for the V explanation - I always knew it could represent 'see', but I never got round to finding out how!

A great parser on another site enlightened me some time ago, glad I could pass on his wisdom.
