Did you know?

Let us conquer any uncertainty you may have about the history of evince. It derives from Latin evincere, meaning "to vanquish" or "to win a point," and can be further traced to vincere, Latin for "to conquer." In the early 1600s, evince was sometimes used in the senses "to subdue" or "to convict of error," meanings evincing the influence of its Latin ancestors. It was also sometimes used as a synonym of its cousin convince, but that sense is now obsolete. One early meaning, "to constitute evidence of," has hung on, however, and in the 1800s it was joined by another sense, "to reveal."

Synonym Chooser

Some common synonyms of evince are demonstrate, evidence, manifest, and show. While all these words mean "to reveal outwardly or make apparent," evince implies a showing by outward marks or signs.

evinced not the slightest fear

The words demonstrate and evince can be used in similar contexts, but demonstrate implies showing by action or by display of feeling.

demonstrated their approval by loud applause

Although the words evidence and evince have much in common, evidence suggests serving as proof of the actuality or existence of something.

a commitment evidenced by years of loyal service

The words manifest and evince are synonyms, but do differ in nuance. Specifically, manifest implies a plainer, more immediate revelation.

manifested musical ability at an early age

The meanings of show and evince largely overlap; however, show is the general term but sometimes implies that what is revealed must be gained by inference from acts, looks, or words.

careful not to show his true feelings
