n. a visual inspection; look
"To take a look-see" means to check something out.

This term, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, entered the English language via Chinese Pidgin English, from a direct translation of "看見", each letter translating to "look" and "see". It is agreed by etymologists that "long time no see", "no pain no gain", "can do / no can do" have the same origin.

(Commonly misspelled as "looksie".)

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
