Evidently

Used to introduce a conclusion based on available evidence; apparently or seemingly based on the facts at hand.

Formed from 'evident' plus '-ly,' with 'evident' coming from Latin 'evidens,' meaning 'clear to see.' The Latin word combines 'e-' (out) and 'videre' (to see), literally meaning 'seen clearly.' The word entered English in the 14th century and has maintained its connection to visual perception as a metaphor for understanding.
