The word for today is…

evince (verb):

1: to constitute outward evidence of  
2: to display clearly : reveal

Source : [Merriam -Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evince?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : To evince something is to show it clearly; the thing evinced is typically an intangible, such as an attitude or intent. Before the current use of evince was established in the late 18th century, the word could mean “to conquer or subdue” and “to convince or conclusively refute,” both meanings evincing a link to the word’s Latin ancestry: the verb evincere, means “to vanquish” or “to win a point.” It comes from another Latin verb, vincere, meaning “to conquer.” That word counts among its offspring convince, invincible, vanquish, and victory.
