显著 (xiǎn zhù) — significant, notable, remarkable

Definition

显著 (xiǎnzhù) means 'significant, notable, remarkable' and focuses on a change or result that is clearly visible and stands out. It is more objective and data-driven than 出色 (chūsè, 'outstanding' in quality) or 杰出 (jiéchū, 'distinguished' in talent/achievement). Use 显著 for measurable progress, effects, or differences; 重要 (zhòngyào) means 'important' in value, not visibility.
