About

The word 弱点 is formed by conceptually combining two ideas: the first character, 弱 (ruò), conveys the abstract quality of "weakness" or "frailty", while the second character, 点 (diǎn), in this context means a "point" or "spot". Together, they create a single, compound concept where the abstraction of weakness is visualized as being concentrated into a specific, locatable place, essentially forming the notion of a "vulnerable point" or a precise spot where something is weak.
