Es wird deutlich, dass etwas eine bestimmte Eigenschaft hat oder anders ist, als man zuerst dachte.
The German word "herausstellen" is a verb that means "to highlight" or "to reveal". It is made up of the prefix "heraus" (out) and "stellen" (to place or set). The word can imply bringing something to light or emphasizing a particular point or detail.
Similar words in German include "betonen" (to emphasize), "aufzeigen" (to demonstrate), and "offenbaren" (to reveal).
The difference lies in nuance: while "herausstellen" often conveys a sense of making something noticeable or obvious to others, "betonen" focuses more on emphasizing or stressing a part of something, and "offenbaren" has a connotation of revealing something that was hidden or unknown.
