- 1突出；伸出
To protrude is to stick out from a surface or from a place, as if something is being pushed forward into the open. A nail can protrude from a floorboard. A tooth can protrude from the row. A rock can protrude from the water. Doctors, , and engineers like this word; in ordinary talk, people more often say stick out. You can use it with no object (His stomach protruded) or with from (a branch protruding from the wall). It is fairly formal and physical — though actually newspapers will use it for anything that juts into view, even a balcony. It does not mean to walk in on someone; that is intrude.
