Not needing to be explained (4-7)
I believe the answer is:
self-evident
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">not needing to be explained</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for self-evident that I've seen before include "Not needing to be demonstrated" , "Needing no explanation" , "Not requiring further explanation" , "Not needing to be explained" , "Obvious" .)
