Usage Note
Lampante literally means 'shining, blazing' (from lampare, related to lampada — 'lamp') and is now used figuratively to mean blindingly obvious. The fixed phrase olio lampante refers to low-grade olive oil originally used in oil lamps. The idiom chiaro e lampante ('clear as day') is very common. Invariable for gender; plural lampanti.
Examples
