What is de-emphasized?

When something is de-emphasized, it means we pay less attention to it, like when your favorite toy gets tucked away in a closet and you forget about it.

Imagine you have a big box of crayons: 24 colors, all bright and fun. One day, your teacher gives you a special project and says, "Use only red, blue, and yellow." Suddenly, those three colors are emphasized, you use them all the time. The other colors? They're de-emphasized, you still have them, but you don’t reach for them as much anymore.

Think of your favorite slide at the playground, you go down it every day. But when there's a new swing that everyone is using, you might spend less time on the slide. The slide is de-emphasized, not forgotten, just not as important right now.

So, de-emphasized means something is still around but gets less attention or use, like your crayons in the closet or your slide at the playground.
