An exemplar is a person or thing you can point to and say, 'This is a good example of that kind of thing' — sometimes the best one, sometimes just a typical one. A teacher might keep one student's essay as an exemplar for the class. A museum might show one vase as an exemplar of a whole style. The word is formal; in everyday talk people just say example or model. Though actually, exemplar often carries a quiet extra meaning that example does not: this one is worth copying, or this one stands for the type. You will see it in school papers, design work, and university writing more than in speech. There is a rare adjective use too, but people almost always say exemplary instead.
組成From Middle English exempler, from Middle French exemplair, from Latin exemplar, from Latin exemplum, 'example.' By surface analysis, example + -ar. Doublet of exemplary.
