Definition
着重 (zhuó zhòng) means 'to put emphasis on' or 'to focus on' a particular point, often in formal analysis, reports, or discussions. It is more deliberate and written than 强调 (qiáng diào, general 'emphasize'), and narrower than 注重 (zhù zhòng, 'pay attention to' as a habit). 侧重 (cè zhòng) is similar but implies focusing on one side or aspect.
verb
