Easy to see, understand, or notice; clear to most people.
From Latin "obvius" meaning "in the way, easily met," from "ob-" (toward) and a root meaning "way." Originally, it was something that comes right up to you on your path.
Something "obvious" is like a person standing right in front of you in a hallway—you almost have to notice it. The funny thing is, what’s obvious to one person can be invisible to another, depending on what paths their mind usually walks.
