見るからに (rukarani)

Evidently; plainly; just by looking

Meaning & usage

見るからに means something is obvious just from looking at it, i.e. its appearance makes a quality clear. It is placed before a word describing an impression, such as an adjective or adjective phrase, and works in both casual speech (スキージャンプって、見るからに怖い) and more descriptive writing.
