striking difference (esp. negative) Explanation: A "glaring disparity" is a strikingly noticeable (often negative) difference between two things. As an example, if one child goes to school until the age of 10, and another goes to school until the age of 18, there would be a "glaring disparity" in their educational levels. Glaring: "used to say that something bad is very obvious" Disparity: "a lack of equality or similarity, especially in a way that is not fair" Incidentally, and for additional info as this is in EN-EN, we'd normally talk of "a" glaring disparity, rather than just "glaring disparity", as in your text. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/glaring https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/disparity |
