underlinings
Lines beneath words
Underlinings are lines drawn beneath text to emphasize or mark it, or the words and passages so marked.
The term can refer to the physical marks themselves or to the practice of making them: Her underlinings in the margins revealed what she found important.
Figuratively, underlinings are elements that emphasize or call attention to something: The report's underlinings of fiscal mismanagement were hard to ignore.
