How it's used

Use this word when discussing physical features that stick out or abstract concepts that stand out from a background. It functions well in both formal settings, like business presentations, and casual descriptions of physical appearance. When describing physical objects that bulge, speakers often prefer the more colloquial 凸出.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 突顯, which specifically means to make something stand out or become more visible. While 突出 can be used for both physical protrusion and abstract prominence, 突顯 is strictly used for the latter.
