blatantly

In plain sight

Blatantly means in an obvious or flagrant manner, without any attempt at concealment: He blatantly lied to my face.

The word often carries moral disapproval—what's blatant is usually wrong or offensive and shamelessly so: blatantly ignoring the rules, a blatantly racist comment.

Sometimes it simply emphasizes how obvious something is: That's blatantly false.
