visibly

/ˈvɪzəbɫi/ adv B1, B2

in a way that is easy to see

Word Origin Visibly comes from Latin 'videre', to see, which gives us a huge family: vision, visual, visit, visa, video, revise, supervise, evidence, provide. The root 'vis-' is from the past participle 'visus'. The -ible suffix means 'able to be seen', and -ly makes it an adverb. So visibly is literally 'see-ably'. The PIE root *weid- also gives us 'wise' and 'wit'.
