Showing or displaying something clearly; making something appear or become real.
From manifest, which comes from Latin 'manifestus' (obvious, visible). 'Manus' means hand and the word literally meant 'caught in the hand,' thus obvious.
The word 'manifest' contains 'manus' (hand) because something you can catch in your hand is obviously real—this connection is why 'manifestation' sounds so powerful, it's about making the invisible visible and real.
