Well, we've managed to keep the grandchildren occupied for a few hours with
lunch in Yo Sushi followed by shelf-gazing in the toy department of our
local department store. When I got back my computer announced that it was
doing the Windows 10 Creator's Update, which led to a further delay.
Anyway, here are 13 defs of the word SYCHT, only one of which came from my
dictionary. Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to this
message before the deadline of:

09:00 UTC/GMT on Sunday 13th August
10:00 BST
11:00 noon CET
5:00 AM EST
2:00 AM PST
19:00 AEST in Melbourne
21:00 NZDT in New Zealand

I like the derivation from "sight," so I'll try 4 and 12 - probably the wrong choices from that group.
