⚫︎ 明瞭 (meiryou) Translation: Clear; distinct; obvious. ⚫︎ 瞭然 (ryouzen) Translation: Clear; obvious; evident. ⚫︎ 一目瞭然 (ichimoku ryouzen) Translation: As plain as the nose on your face; obvious at a glance.

The kanji 瞭 is a phono-semantic compound (形声文字, keisei moji). The left side is a radical called 目 (め, me), meaning "eye". The right side is a phonetic component that contributes to the sound and hints at the meaning. Thus, the original meaning of the character comes from the eye being able to see something clearly. This combination suggests clear vision and, by extension, clear understanding.
