conspicuously

/kənˈspɪkjuəsɫi/ adv

In a conspicuous manner; noticeably.

Word Origin Conspicuous comes from Latin con- 'together' and specere 'to look' — so it's something that everyone looks at together, standing out. Conspicuously means 'in a way that draws all eyes.' The root specere is everywhere: inspect (look into), respect (look back at), expect (look out for), and spectacle (something to look at). The PIE root *spek- 'to observe' also gives us spy and species.
