Explanation
とみえる attaches to a plain sentence to indicate that, from appearance or external evidence, something appears to be the case. It conveys deduction or a speaker’s inference based on what they observe, rather than a definite fact. It is often used in written or formal narration, or when the speaker wants to sound cautious about the conclusion.
