Clear but not subtle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obvious

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'clear' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'not subtle' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'but' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for obvious that I've seen before include "Perfectly plain and clear" , "Apparent" , "Conspicuous" , "Perfectly plain and easy to understand" , "Patent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
