PROTRUDES Meaning and
Definition
-
Protrudes is a verb that refers to something extending or jutting out from a surface or position. It implies that a particular object or part of an object is sticking out further than the surrounding area, creating a noticeable prominence.
When an object protrudes, it emerges or projects outward, disrupting the smoothness or evenness of its surroundings. This extension can be physical, such as a tree branch protruding from a dense forest or a piece of furniture protruding out into a room. Human body parts like the nose, chin, or ears can also protrude if they extend noticeably beyond the average dimensions.
The act of protruding is not limited to physical objects. It can also describe abstract entities that are perceived to stick out or be conspicuous in certain contexts. For instance, one's opinion or a particular theory may be said to protrude in a discussion if it stands out prominently against alternative ideas.
Overall, the term protrudes indicates a noticeable and distinct projection from a surface or a context. Whether referring to physical objects or more abstract concepts, it signifies that the protruding element is prominent, drawing attention due to its extension or its divergence from the norm.
