Also means
to outline
Usage Note
Prospettare means to set out or put forward a scenario, plan, or possibility — closer to 'to lay out' or 'to envisage' than a simple 'to present'. The reflexive prospettarsi means 'to look likely' or 'to appear on the horizon': si prospetta una crisi (a crisis is shaping up). It is formal and common in journalism and politics.
Examples
