Stick Out Noticeably Crossword Clue — 5 Letters

Thinking about "stick out noticeably" — the most fitting 5-letter answer is GLARE or STAND, but the best fit is likely EXCEL or STRUT. Actually, "stick out noticeably" most naturally maps to STAND (as in "stand out"), but that's 5 letters. Wait — STAND is 5 letters but "stand out" is the phrase. Let me reconsider: GLARE (5), BULGE (5), STRUT (5), EXCEL (5). "Stick out noticeably" = STRUT doesn't quite work. BULGE means to stick out. GLARE means to stand out noticeably.
