patently
In plain sight
Patently means obviously or clearly, in a way that requires no explanation: patently false, patently absurd, patently unfair.
The word emphasizes that something is so evident it cannot be denied.
It derives from patent in its sense of open or unconcealed—a patently bad idea is one whose badness lies in plain sight.
