Definition
力点 has two specialized meanings: in physics (lever mechanics) it refers to the point where force is applied; in martial arts and acupressure it refers to a vital pressure point on the body. The term is a compound of 力 (force) and 点 (point), but its meanings are not fully predictable from the components — especially the 'pressure point' sense, which is a fixed term.
