Answer

The example for present is a classroom situation.  The teacher marks the student as here at school or not here.  Others words present or not present.  Were you present at work or school?  The language barrier is there/here.
In stark form.....  I looked in the dictionary and it says that it's "very clear and plain to look at".

Hope this helps :-/
