Definition
断点 is a technical term borrowed from computing, meaning 'breakpoint' — a designated point in a program where execution pauses for debugging. It's a concrete noun with a single, well-defined sense, but the English gloss is a specialized term that learners may not know, so a brief explanation helps.
