2 public notes

Conspicuous and conspicuously are related, but today learn discern

Discern means to notice or recognize something, especially when it is not immediately obvious. It comes from Latin discernere, meaning to separate or distinguish. From the back of a dim hall, you might discern a doorway without being able to make out the smaller lettering on the sign above it.

Recognition and recall ask different things of memory

Recognising an answer is different from producing it without a prompt. A familiar face may be easy to identify in a photograph even when the person's name will not come to mind. Recognition supplies something to match against memory, while recall requires you to generate the missing information.
