Tienes razón. En el original aparece como "underlies", lo cual originó mi duda, pero en realidad leyendo con detención el texto queda claro que se trata de un error tipográfico. Muchas gracias por tu respuesta.

fundamenta, sirve de fundamento, sustenta, es la causa básica


Explanation:
Simon & Schuster = underlie = 2. (fig.) sostener, sustentar, servir de fundamento, ser la razón o base de (idea, revoulucaión, etc.)
Esas dos acepciones son las que más se adaptan al texto.
Urrutia, Diccionario de Negocios = underlying = fundamental, básico, precedente
Glosario inter. para el traductor de Orellana = underlying cause of death = causa básica de defunción
Espero te sirvan

¿subyace? ¿enfatiza?


Explanation:
Iba a decir que los que sugieron "subraya", "enfatiza", lo confundieron con "underline", pero parece que esa palabra acopla más al contexto que "underlie", lo que es subyacer. Tal vez es un error tipográfico del inglés.

permite entrever


Explanation:
"underlie" es una forma velada de dar a conocer. No subraya /underlines/ o destaca /highlight/, sino que es una forma discreta de alertar
