Outlined Meaning in English
word · lemma: outline
释义
Describes something that has been given a general summary, structure, or main points, or a shape that has been marked or drawn around the edge.
用法与细微差别
Often used for summarizing ideas ('outlined the plan') or describing shapes drawn around something ('outlined in blue'). Slightly formal in tone. Common confusion: not the same as 'detailed'—'outlined' means basic points only.
