词源记忆法
学过法语的人恐怕都晓得overt源于古法语动词ovrir（打开）的过去分词overt。overt进人英语后，读音被英语化了，用作形容词，常作“公开的”、“公然的”、“明显的”解。它的反义词covert（隐蔽的，暗地里的）则源自另一古法语动词covrir（遮盖）的过去分词covert。

小知识
Overt means open and done in plain sight. An overt demand for an increase in your allowance probably won't work; instead, try praising your parents' generosity and dropping hints about how high prices are these days.
If you speak French, remember that overt is the same as the French ouvert “open.” If you don't speak French, give up all hope of ever learning this word. Just kidding — forgive the overt attempt at humor. English speakers, here's your trick for remembering the difference between overt and covert: overt = “open”; covert = “covered.”
