Protuberant describes something that sticks out or swells forward. It is an adjective, so it names a look, not a thing. The usual pictures are protuberant eyes (eyes that bulge) or a protuberant belly. The tone is formal and a bit clinical — the sort of word a textbook uses when it describes a body as if it were a specimen. Used about a person, it can sound , even if you do not mean it that way. For objects it is safer: a vase with a protuberant middle, a protuberant knocker on a door. Though actually, outside science writing, many people never use this word at all.
