核心畫面

Picture someone who will not stop at the big shape of a thing, but goes over it one small part at a time — this corner, then that edge, then the next. The word can point at what that attention leaves behind (the little added pieces you can see on the finished thing), or at the going-over itself (the hours of cleaning, the point-by-point telling). Either way, the whole word sits on the small parts, never on the main shape.
