clearly

clearly adverb 1 write clearly: intelligibly, plainly, distinctly, comprehensibly, with clarity; legibly, audibly; formal perspicuously. 2 clearly, substantial changes are needed: obviously, evidently, patently, unquestionably, undoubtedly, without doubt, indubitably, plainly, undeniably, incontrovertibly, irrefutably, doubtless, it goes without saying, needless to say. USAGE clearly Exaggerators like this word, along with its cousins ( obviously, undeniably, undoubtedly, and the like ). Often a statement prefaced with one of these words is conclusory, and sometimes even exceedingly dubious. As a result —though some readers don't consciously realize it — clearly and its ilk are ‘weasel words ’—that is, unnecessary words that supposedly intensify the meaning of a statement, but actually weaken it. Just how much clearly can weaken a statement is evident in the following example, in which the author uses the word to buttress a claim about his own state of mind: “Clearly, I am not to be convinced that this is a small matter. ” (Stephen White, The Written Word; 1984.).Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.
