Apparent means open to view and evident, not equivalent to certainty; in appeals it denotes what appears on the record.
Apparent denotes what is manifest or open to view, emphasizing visibility and manifestness rather than underlying truth. It describes matters plainly observable or understandable and is contrasted with certainty or indubitability. In appellate contexts, apparent refers to what appears on the record, and an error revealed only by exhaustive scrutiny of all evidence may not qualify as apparent.
