Apparent

“Apparent” means something seems clear or obvious when you look at it, even if you don’t know all the details or truth behind it. For example, if someone is crying, it’s apparent they’re upset — even if you don’t know why. It shows what looks true on the surface, though things could be different deep down. The word is often used when something is visible or easily noticed. It helps describe what we think is happening, based on what we can see, hear, or sense—not necessarily what’s completely or certainly true.
