It is shown if you click on it in Discover. It isn't possible to copy it to 
clipboard from Discover, so here's from the CLI:

Description: GNU Emacs editor (metapackage)
 GNU Emacs is the extensible self-documenting text editor.
 This is a metapackage that will always depend on the latest
 recommended Emacs variant (currently emacs-gtk).

It's a package that doesn't contain anything to install except a dependency, 
that it should install emacs.
