noticeable
Hard to miss
Noticeable describes something prominent enough to be noticed—detectable, evident, apparent: There was a noticeable improvement in her mood.
The word often suggests something that stands out against a background or baseline: a noticeable limp, a noticeable difference in quality.
What counts as noticeable depends on context—a scratch noticeable on a new car might go unnoticed on an old one.
