hervorgehobenes

Hervorgehobenes is a German term formed from the verb hervorgeheben (to emphasize or highlight) and the past participle hervorgehoben. In German grammar, such a participial form can be nominalized to function as a noun, referring to the thing that has been emphasized. The common written form for the standalone noun is das Hervorgehobene, with the noun capitalized, while in attributive position before a noun it appears as hervorgehones? No—before a neuter noun you would typically write hervorgehoben es? The correct attributive form is hervorgehobenes Element. In everyday usage the distinction matters: the capitalized form marks a noun, the lowercase form can appear as an adjective before a noun.

In practice, Hervorgehobenes or its capitalized counterpart are used to indicate content that has been singled out for attention. It is common in editing, documentation, and user interfaces to refer to elements that stand out because of formatting, importance, or relevance. For example, Das Hervorgehobene in diesem Abschnitt markiert zentrale Begriffe. Bitte beachten Sie das Hervorgehobene Feld. In einer Liste kann man von den Hervorgehobenen sprechen, wenn mehrere Elemente gemeint sind.

Usage notes: Hervorgehobenes is primarily a grammatical tool of reference rather than a fixed technical term. Its meaning relies on context: it denotes what has been emphasized, highlighted, or prioritized. Related terms include Hervorhebung (emphasis or highlighting) and hervorgeben (to highlight). In translations, it is often rendered as “the highlighted item” or “the emphasized content.” The capitalized form (das Hervorgehobene) is typical in formal writing when the emphasized content is treated as a specific item.
