exacting
의미: Making great demands on one's skill, attention, or resources; requiring very high standards of accuracy or performance.
Exacting can describe both people and tasks. An exacting boss sets demanding standards and accepts nothing less than excellence; an exacting task requires sustained concentration and precision. The word implies that the demands are legitimate rather than arbitrary — exacting standards in surgery, for instance, are a matter of patient safety. It is commonly used in professional and academic contexts, and pairs naturally with 'standards,' 'requirements,' 'specifications,' and 'demands.'
