A compound: as, dṛṣṭama (दृष्टम), as, what is not seen, and tvācca (त्वाच्च).
Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Earth, water, fire, air, and the qualities that mark them. Then ether, time, and space. The line is short. dṛṣṭañca (दृष्टञ्च) from 2.2.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
