reveal, prominent

顯 is composed of 㬎 (prominent) and 頁 (head, page). 㬎 depicts the act of drying silk threads under sunlight, where the threads become distinct and clear, while 頁 is a pictograph of a human head. The head is the most noticeable part of the human body, and both concepts share the meaning of revelation or clarity. Thus, 顯 represents being prominent or evident.
