PSA: "Site" means place, comes from Latin /situs/. "Sight" refers to vision, is Anglo-Saxon/Germanic in origin.

"Sight", of course, can have multiple meanings, all closely related to vision or appearance. But "Web sight" is not a useful construction. "Web site" (even though it refers to a metaphorical place) is.

Mnemonic tie-ins: construction site, accident site, fossil site, historic site, original site, camp site. Related: situate, situation (which me be metaphorical, not literal).

1. And "cite"...

Means to refer to the source of information such that anyone can look up the primary source used in relating information second hand.
