profile
word
Definition
A profile is a short description of a person, company, or thing, often on a website or app. It can also mean the side view of a face or the general shape and features of something.
Usage & Nuances
Very common in digital contexts: 'create a profile', 'update your profile picture', 'user profile'. In professional contexts, 'company profile' or 'candidate profile' means a summary. For the face meaning, 'in profile' is the usual phrase. Don't confuse it with only social media use.
