What's the meaning used in heir apparent? --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:26, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Some style guides maintain that apparent should not be used before a noun to mean "appearing to be such but not necessarily so," as in The victim suffered an apparent heart attack, because a heart attack that is only "apparent" is not a heart attack at all https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:30, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
