"Not hidden, done with the intention to be seen". Which is not at all the English meaning.

It sort of fits the English definition, because it's often used in the context of deception: a person could ostensibly think one thing but actually believe another. The thing they ostensibly think is the thing they intend to be seen, while their true feelings remain hidden.
