overt
含义: Done or shown openly and without any attempt at concealment; plainly apparent.
Overt is the opposite of 'covert' and describes actions or qualities that are deliberately open and unconcealed. It is often used in contexts where openness is noteworthy — either because similar actions are usually hidden (overt hostility) or because the openness is itself significant (overt support, overt aggression). It is commonly paired with its antonym: 'overt and covert.' Common collocations include 'overt discrimination,' 'overt hostility,' 'overt aggression,' and 'overtly political.'
