a point, a dot. This is used in 2 ways;

b) a point of conversation, as in "That's not the point and you know it!" (LAZY)

JUKUGO:

交差点 ( こうさてん ): traffic intersection
交 (combine) + 差 (discriminate) + 点 (point) = 交差点 (intersection)
共通点 ( きょうつうてん ): common point (between two things or people)
共 (with) + 通 (pass) + 点 (point) = 共通点 (common point)
要点 ( ようてん ): the important points (unlike the related word 重点（じゅうてん）、　要点 is more than one point - more like a summary. Like instead of writing an essay, you'd just do a series of bullet points.
Example phrase:要点だけ話して！　("Get to the point!")
要 (important) + 点 (point) = 要点 (the important points)
