evident
/ˈevɪdənt/·에비던트·adjective
clearly visible or obvious
LatinCEFR B2
Root
e- (out) + Latin 'videre' (to see)
Latin evidens (clearly visible, out in the open) → Old French evident → English evident
In a word
e- (out) + vid (see) = 'visible, out in plain sight'. The same vid lives in video, evidence, visible. When a courtroom says "evidence", the root already says: what came into sight. The old intuition — you can't prove without seeing — stays inside the word.
Examples
His talent was evident from childhood.
It is evident that she is tired.
The damage was evident even from the road.
