Question

protrude As he leaned over, she noticed something protruding from under his jacket, and realized with a sickening feeling that he was armed. proʊˈtrud

Accepted Answer

To jut out from the surrounding surface or context. Since trudere means “to thrust” in Latin, protrude means basically “to thrust forward.” If your neighbors' patio protrudes over your property boundary, you may want to discuss it with them. A protruding disc in your spine may have to be operated on sooner or later; superficial protrusions, such as corns or bunions, tend to be less serious than more deeply rooted ones.
