Clear, blatant (5)
I believe the answer is:
overt
I believe this is a double definition.
'clear' is the first definition.
(both can mean apparent or obvious)
'blatant' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for overt that I've seen before include "____ is able to be seen" , "Open,up front" , "Trove (anag.)" , "Done or shown openly" , "Plainly apparent" .)
