jump out

Suddenly become visible

Jump out means to emerge suddenly or unexpectedly, often with startling effect: A cat jumped out from behind the bushes.

Figuratively, something jumps out when it immediately catches attention or stands out from its surroundings: One detail jumped out at me while reading the report.
