Overt

Easily seen with the naked eye.


Plainly to be seen or detected: applied to diseases with observable signs and symptoms, as opposed to those whose presence may not be suspected for years despite the fact that they cause insidious damage. An infectious disease becomes overt only at the end of an incubation period.


Easily observable; clinically obvious; symptomatic. Wien said of diseases, it is the opposite of occult.
