Word Origin & Etymology
Borrowed in the late 14th century from Old French manifeste and directly from Latin manifestus ('plainly apprehensible, clear, apparent'), originally meaning 'caught in the act' or 'palpable,' formed from manus ('hand') and the root of *fendere ('to strike, push') or festus ('seized').
