herausstellt

Herausstellt is the third-person singular present indicative form of the German verb herausstellen. The meaning can range from to bring out or to highlight something, to reveal or demonstrate a finding, and in a fixed expression it also appears as es stellt sich heraus, meaning it turns out.

The verb herausstellen combines the prefix heraus- with stellen (to place or put). The prefix indicates bringing something outward or bringing it to light. It is a separable-prefix verb, so in main declarative clauses the verb splits: der Bericht stellt heraus, dass …. In the perfect tense the past participle is herausgestellt (haben herausgestellt).

Two primary uses are common. First, to emphasize a result or finding, especially in scientific, technical, or journalistic writing: Der Bericht stellt heraus, dass die Maßnahmen Wirkung zeigen. Second, in the impersonal construction es stellt sich heraus, meaning it becomes evident or turns out: Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Daten fehlerhaft waren. The sense of “to display” is usually expressed with ausstellen rather than herausstellen.

Herausstellen can also function as an adjective in participial form (herausgestellt) or as part of noun phrases denoting emphasized features, though this is less frequent than its verbal use. In vocabulary terms, synonyms include hervorheben, betonen, aufzeigen, or aufdecken, depending on nuance.

In summary, herausstellt primarily denotes drawing attention to or revealing something, with es stellt sich heraus as a common idiom for “it turns out,” and it differs from ausstellen, which more directly means to exhibit or display something.
