Morphology
evident = evid + ent
The adjective is built from a bound Latinate root 'evid' plus the adjectival suffix '-ent'; learners may connect it to 'evidence' but the root is not a standalone English word, so inference is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Evident comes from two parts, e- meaning 'out' and videre meaning 'to see', the same part we find in video and visible. So, when something is evident, it is 'easy to see' or clear.
