Definition
转轴 has two main uses. In technical contexts, it refers to a mechanical axle or spin axis — the part around which something rotates. In colloquial speech, it can mean an 'idea' or 'plan', especially one that comes to mind suddenly. This figurative use is informal and not interchangeable with the literal meaning.
