The original meaning of?iconic?was essentially "resembling an icon", but today it more often seems to mean "so admired that it could be the subject of an icon". And with that meaning,?iconic?has become part of the language of advertising and publicity; today companies and magazines and TV hosts are constantly encouraging us to think of some consumer item or pop star or show as first-rate or immortal or flawless—absolutely "iconic"—when he or she or it is actually nothing of the kind. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
搭配：iconic status/ entrepreneur/ businessmen/ covers/ brand/ images/ gesture/ character/ symbol
背誦：
iconic, important, famous, impressive
