Etymology of APPARENTLY
The word "apparently" originated from the Latin word "apparentem", which is the accusative form of "apparens". "Apparens" is the present participle of the verb "appareo", meaning "to appear". It entered the English language in the late 14th century through the Old French word "apparent", which also means "visible" or "evident".
