Flagrant

The adjective flagrant means an action, situation, or someone’s behaviour that you find extremely bad or shocking in a very obvious way.

Synonyms are flaunting, blatant, atrocious, or heinous.

The word origins from Latin (15th century) flagrantem meaning “burning, blazing, glowing”, figuratively “glowing with passion, eager, vehement”, present participle of flagrare meaning “to burn, blaze, glow” from Proto-Italic flagro– meaning “burning”.
