Usage Examples

Etymology

Évident comes from the Latin adjective *evidens* (“plain, obvious”), itself derived from *evidere* (“to see out, to make evident”). The word entered Old French in the 12th c. as an adjective; it later became a nominalized form *l’évident* meaning “the obvious thing” or “the clear one,” used in literary contexts. The meaning and spelling have remained stable since its medieval introduction.
