  Overview  of  adv  plainly 
 
  The  adv  plainly  has  2  senses  (first  1  from  tagged  texts) 
 
  1.  (12)  obviously,  evidently,  manifestly,  patently,  apparently,  plainly,  plain  --  (unmistakably;  "the  answer  is  obviously  wrong";  "she  was  in  bed  and  evidently  in  great  pain";  "he  was  manifestly  too  important  to  leave  off  the  guest  list";  "it  is  all  patently  nonsense";  "she  has  apparently  been  living  here  for  some  time";  "I  thought  he  owned  the  property,  but  apparently  not";  "You  are  plainly  wrong";  (`plain'  is  often  used  informally  for  `plainly'  as  in  "he  is  plain  stubborn")) 
  2.  plainly,  simply  --  (in  a  simple  manner;  without  extravagance  or  embellishment;  "she  was  dressed  plainly";  "they  lived  very  simply")
