excellent opinion; insightful view
A formal yojijukugo praising someone's outstanding argument or perspective. Often used in speeches, essays, or respectful commentary.
I was deeply impressed by the professor's excellent opinion.
会議では各専門家から高論卓説が次々と述べられた。
At the meeting, insightful views were presented one after another by each expert.
卓説 alone means an excellent opinion, but 高論卓説 is a more emphatic four-character compound combining 'lofty argument' and 'outstanding view'.
高論 means a lofty or noble argument; 高論卓説 pairs it with 卓説 for a stronger, more formal expression.
A yojijukugo composed of 高 (high, lofty), 論 (argument, theory), 卓 (eminent, outstanding), and 説 (opinion, explanation). The exact historical origin is uncertain, but it follows a common pattern of pairing two two-character compounds with similar meanings for emphasis.
