Word origin
The word 'overtly' is derived from the adjective 'overt,' which comes from the Middle French word 'overt' meaning 'open, manifest.' The term has been used in English since the 15th century to describe actions or behaviors that are done openly and without concealment. Over time, 'overtly' has become a common adverb used to emphasize the transparency or clarity of a particular action or communication.
