Morphology
The meaning 'extremely obvious' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'glaringly' (strikingly obvious; an intensifying adverb) with 'apparent' (obvious). This adverb + adjective compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English intensification, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Glaringly apparent may come from the image of a very bright light making something easy to see. When something is glaringly, meaning very bright, and thus apparent, meaning clearly seen, it becomes 'extremely obvious'.
