PLAINLY

Clearly clare: perspicue: evidenter: plane: lucide: dilucide: enodate: enucleate: expresse: to speak plainly perspicue dicere: plane et aperte dicere: plane et dilucide loqui: distincte dicere (plainly and intelligibly); plane et articulate eloqui (so that every syllable is heard; Gell. 5 9): to say a thing plainly and clearly articulatim distincteque dicere aliquid (opposed to fuse disputare aliquid et libere Cic. Legg. 1 13 36): to write plainly plane aperte perspicue scribere: distincte ac distribute scribere (with distinctness and proper order or arrangement; with reference to the sense): litterate perscribere (with regard to the letters; Vid: Cic. Pis. 25 extr.): to write plainly to anybody enucleate perscribere ad aliquem: to pronounce plainly exprimere et explanare verba (Plin. Paneg. 64 3): ☞ evidenter is used by Liv. and therefore correct; but there is no authority for evidenter videre; it should be plane aperte penitus perspicue videre (Krebs):

Obviously undoubtedly sine dubio (Cic.); procul dubio (Liv.); haud dubie (not sine ullo dubio): sine ulla dubitatione (without any hesitation): certe (certainly). This reading is plainly the right one haec lectio haud dubie or sine dubio vera est: this reading is plainly preferable haec lectio sine ulla dubitatione praeferenda est. Often by circumlocution with manifestum est. He is plainly a fool manifestum est eum esse stultum.
