MANIFEST (obvious)
The English adjective manifest comes from the Latin manifestus and means obvious. When something is manifest, it is completely apparent and open to view. The noun form of this word is manifestation, and there is even a verb form: something can manifest itself, meaning make itself obvious or clear. In George Orwell’s 1945 book Animal Farm, he wrote that pigs were “manifestly cleverer than the other animals.” In his great American classic Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote that “The squirrels manifest no concern whether the woods will bear chestnuts this year or not.” And Martin Luther King wrote that “The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.”
