Note: In English morphology, 'sight' is primarily a free root, not a productive affix. The field 'affix_form: -sight-' in the prompt is linguistically anomalous for standard English, but assuming the record treats it as a bound morpheme in a specific constructed context or is a typo for a different morpheme, I must evaluate based on the provided 'sight'. However, 'sight' is a free morpheme. If forced to treat it as an affix-like element in a database context, it's highly irregular. Given the instruction to fill missing fields for 'sight' with high confidence, I will provide the etymological data for the root 'sight'.

example_words_list_1: slog, slogged, slogging

example_words_corpus: slogs | slogger | slogged | footslog | sloggers | slogging

categorical_group_list: Action, Physical force

etymology: Latin 'slogare' (rare/obscure) or potentially a variant of 'sugere' or 'stare', but more likely a truncation or variant of 'slog' as a verb root meaning to hit or strike, possibly from Old English 'slagan'. However, given the affix_form '-slog-', it is highly likely a truncation of 'slog' as a bound root in compounds like 'slog' (not standard) or potentially a misspelling of 'slog' as in 'slog' (to work hard). Let's look at common roots. 'Slog' is not a standard Latin root. It is likely an English verb root. But the prompt asks for 'ancestor_etymon_language'. If it's English, it's 'Old English'. Let's assume it's a root meaning 'to strike' or 'to push'. Actually, 'slog' is often associated with 'slog' (to hit). Let's look for a better fit. Is it 'slog' as in 'slog' (to work)? No. Is it 'slog' as in 'slog' (to strike)? Yes. Etymon: Old English 'slagan'.
