flagrant

This word describes a violation that is not just wrong, but impossible to ignore. It carries a heavy sense of audacity, as if the perpetrator does not care who sees their misconduct. It is almost always used in a negative context, typically involving laws, rules, or social norms. While similar to "glaring," flagrant suggests a level of intentionality or boldness that is provocative. It is frequently used in legal, sporting, or political contexts to emphasize the severity and visibility of a transgression.
