In a way that is easily seen or noticeable; in a manner that shows something obvious to the eye.
From 'visible' (from Latin 'visibilis', meaning 'able to be seen') plus the adverb suffix '-ly'. Indicates that something is apparent and observable.
Adverbs ending in '-bly' like 'visibly' are disappearing from modern English—we now text 'she was obviously upset' instead of 'visibly upset,' showing how digital communication is actually simplifying our grammar.
