Word for the Week

Salient: Outstanding, something which grabs attention, as in a salient point of view
In battle, the portion of a line which is closest to the enemy
In heraldry, the animal or representation which is shown leaning forward to leap, as in a rampant lion
In geography, a panhandle or spit of land which projects into another territory or body of water
