  1. visible; apparent; manifest

    • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume I, verse 343:
      تا نماند در جهان نصرانیی
      نی هویدا دین و نی پنهانیی
      tā na-mānad dar jahān nasrānīyē
      huwaydā dīn u nē panhānīyē
      So that there may not remain a single Christian in the world, neither one whose religion is manifest nor one who is concealed.
