The word 显得 is formed by combining the character 显, which carries the core meaning of "to manifest" or "to become visible", with the character 得, which often denotes the attainment of a state or a manner of appearing. Together, they create a single concept where the action of "showing" or "appearing" (显) is intrinsically linked to the resulting quality or impression that is perceived (得). It is less about the mechanical act of display and more about the emergent, often subjective, impression that something naturally presents or is judged to have, as if its inherent characteristics have come into visible form.
