preeminent
意味: Surpassing all others in a particular quality or field; supreme or outstanding.
Pre-eminent (also spelt preeminent) is a superlative adjective indicating that someone or something stands above all rivals. 'The pre-eminent authority on,' 'the pre-eminent example of,' and 'a position of pre-eminence' are standard collocations. It is stronger than 'eminent' or 'prominent' because it implies being first among equals, not merely one of several distinguished figures. The word is common in academic citations, obituaries, and official commendations.
