blatantly

the word 'blatantly' is formed from the adjective 'blatant', which was coined by the poet edmund spenser in the late 16th century. he likely derived it from the latin verb 'blatire', meaning 'to babble' or 'to chatter', to create a word for something offensively noisy or conspicuous. the suffix '-ly', of old english origin, is a standard grammatical device for converting adjectives into adverbs. thus, 'blatantly' literally means 'in a blatant manner', describing an action done so openly and conspicuously that it resembles a loud, brazen noise that cannot be ignored.

Structure: blatant (glaringly conspicuous) + ly (adverb-forming suffix) blatant (coined in english, likely from latin 'blatire', meaning 'to babble, to talk nonsense') + ly (old english adverb-forming suffix)
