An eyewitness is someone who has seen something happen with their own eyes — a crime, a crash, a fight — and can later describe it. Police and news reports use this word a lot. A witness in court might only have heard something, or know a fact; an eyewitness specifically saw it. The noun is the everyday one. There is also a verb, from the same two pieces, but it feels stiffer: most people just say they saw it or they witnessed it. The word belongs to news and law more than to playground talk.
