What is the Latin root for word obviously?

The Latin root for "obviously" is "ob", meaning "in front of" or "before", and "via", meaning "way" or "road".

While "obviously" itself isn't directly derived from these roots, it stems from the Latin word "obvius", which means "meeting, coming in the way of, obvious."

The "-ly" suffix in English indicates an adverb, making "obviously" mean "in an obvious way".
