The German word "Visier" is a noun that means "visor". Historically, a "Visier" referred to the movable part of a helmet that could be lifted or lowered to protect the face, especially in the context of a knight's armor. In modern times, it can refer to any type of protective face shield, like those found in sports equipment or protective gear. The word can also refer to a gunsight or the concept of taking aim, as in putting something "ins Visier nehmen" (to take something into one's sights—which is akin to setting an objective or focusing on a target).
