The simplest would be using a custom description environment (which is easily done with enumitem). — Bernard, Apr 10 '22 at 13:36
@Bernard thanks for the suggestion. I looked at this https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/30029/enumerated-description-list but I don't want a numbering of the items. Did you mean this? — Gunners, Apr 10 '22 at 13:48
@Gunners: no, I didn't. A description environment is not an enumerate environment. Please see my answer. — Bernard, Apr 10 '22 at 18:47

Here is a solution with the description environment (which is not numbered) with the help of enumitem:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{calc} 
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{description}[labelwidth=\widthof{\bfseries relevance}, leftmargin=!]
  \item[topic] \lipsum[11]
  \item[relevance] \lipsum[12]
  \item[role]\lipsum[13]
\end{description}
\end{document}
