What's a word that describes something that is obvious but you didn't think of in the first place? Usually this happens when someone points out something and you're pleasantly surprised/shocked by the discovery

  • Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Sep 16 '22 at 23:34

    The idiom is ”it was staring you in the face the whole time” not sure there’s a word apart from maybe obvious (in hindsight) – Jim Sep 16 '22 at 23:39

    If you can express it with an interjection, duh works well. – Tinfoil Hat Sep 17 '22 at 02:34

    Kindly provide usage example. You can also provide a fill-in-the-blank sentence. I could think of two words and providing them below in the form of an answer. Use more words, sentences to make clear your exact requirement from the word/s. – banuyayi Sep 17 '22 at 10:47

Oblivious and/or Hiding in plain sight.

These two words may serve your purpose.

Oblivious (Wiktionary)Lacking awareness; unmindful; unaware, unconscious of. Failing to remember; forgetful.

Hiding in plain sight (The Free Dictionary by Farlex) Concealed or unseen despite being in full, unrestricted view.
