Prominent or conspicuous (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salient

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">prominent</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that prominent can be written as salient)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">conspicuous</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for salient that I've seen before include "defence work" , "Leaping (heraldry)" , "obvious" , "Entails being most noticeable" , "Conspicuous; pointing outwards" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
