CLEARLY Copy link • CLEARLYclare: perspicue: evidenter: plane: lucide: dilucide: enodate: enucleate: expresse: to speak clearly, perspicue dicere: plane et aperte dicere: plane et dilucide loqui: distincte dicere (clearly and intelligibly): plane et articulate eloqui (so that every syllable is heard, Gell., 5, 9): to say anything clearly and plainly, articulatim distincteque dicere aliquid (opposed to fuse disputare aliquid et libere, Cic., Legg., 1, 13. 36): to write clearly, plane, aperte. perspicue scribere: distincte ac distribute scribere (with distinctness and proper order or arrangement; with reference to the sense): litterate perscribere (with regard to the letters, Vid: Cic., Pis., 25, extr): to write clearly to anybody, enucleate perscribere ad aliquem: to pronounce clearly, exprimere et explanare verba (Plin., Paneg., 64, 3). OBSERVE: evidenter is used by Liv., and therefore correct; but there is no authority for evidenter videre: it should be plane, aperte, penitus. perspicue videre (Krebs). Obviously, undoubtedly, sine dubio (Cic.): procul dubio (Liv.): haud dubie; (not sine ullo dubio): sine ulla dubitatione (without any hesitation): certe (certainly). This reading is clearly the right one, haec lectio haud dubie or sine dubio vera est: this reading is clearly preferable. haec lectio sine ulla dubitatione praeferenda est. Often by circumlocution with manifestum est. He is clearly a fool, manifestum est, eum esse stultum.
