I believe the answer is:
overtly
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">in public</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for overtly that I've seen before include "Publicly; evidently" , "Obviously" , "in the public eye" , "public fashion" , "clearly!" .)
