barefacedly
In open defiance
Barefacedly means in a shameless or brazen manner, without attempting to conceal wrongdoing or falsehood: He barefacedly lied about his qualifications.
The word suggests audacity—acting openly where others might hide or dissemble.
It derives from barefaced, originally describing an uncovered face, later someone who doesn't bother to mask their intentions.
