features
What sets apart
Features are distinguishing characteristics or notable attributes of something—the features of a face, the features of a software program, the features of a landscape.
A feature can also be a prominent item: a feature article in a magazine, a feature film at the cinema.
To feature something is to give it prominence or include it as a highlight: The concert features three local bands.
Her face has strong features.
