prominent
의미: Important, well known, or conspicuous, especially in public life or a particular field.
Prominent describes someone or something that stands out, either through fame, influence, or physical visibility. In public discourse, 'a prominent politician,' 'a prominent role,' and 'a prominent businessman' are standard collocations. Unlike 'eminent,' which implies deep expertise, prominent emphasises visibility and public recognition. It can also describe physical features — 'a prominent nose' or 'a prominent position on the high street.'
