Tips
register
Literary register; rarely heard in casual speech. Most often paired with 罪行 (crimes) or 恶行 (evil deeds) — the chengyu 罪恶昭彰 ('crimes plainly visible') and 臭名昭彰 ('notorious') are the dominant collocations.
memory
Both characters mean 'clear, manifest': 昭 (zhāo, 'bright like the sun') + 彰 (zhāng, 'conspicuous'). The doubling intensifies — something so visible it's impossible to hide.
