marked
Bearing a sign
Marked means bearing a visible mark or sign, but more commonly describes something noticeable or pronounced: a marked improvement, a marked difference in quality.
When applied to people, marked suggests being singled out for attention, often dangerous: a marked man is someone targeted for harm.
The adverb markedly means noticeably or significantly: Her mood improved markedly after the news.
