見るからに (rukarani)

Evidently; plainly; just by looking

Meaning & usage

見るからに marks a judgment that is clear from appearance alone, equivalent to clearly or obviously. It is a fixed adverbial phrase with 見る in dictionary form and it directly precedes adjectives, nouns with だ, or verb phrases, as in 見るからに金持ちだ or 見るからに怖がっている. For hidden feelings use an observable form like そうだ or がっている rather than a plain adjective, and avoid adding ようだ, which repeats the visual inference.
