How it's used
Focuses specifically on physical objects that extend beyond a flat surface or boundary. It is frequently used to describe architectural features, uneven surfaces, or objects hidden inside a container that create a visible bump. Unlike the simpler 凸, this term emphasizes the action or state of extending outward into space.
Examples
This board is sticking out a lot, be careful not to bump into it.
What is in your bag that is making it bulge out like that?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe abstract concepts like standing out in a crowd or being prominent in a social sense, as it is strictly reserved for physical, three-dimensional protrusion.
