Crossword Genius

For a short time, regard as clairvoyance (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

second sight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clairvoyance' is the definition.
(I know that second-sight is a type of clairvoyance)

'for a short time regard' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'time' could be 'second' (unit of time) and 'second' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'sight' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for second sight that I've seen before include "Back great" , "Clairvoyance" , "not visited at very start of tour?" , "aware of future potential?" , "Something uncanny" .)
