About

The word 共同点 is formed by logically combining three meaningful characters: 共 (gòng), meaning "together" or "shared"; 同 (tóng), meaning "same" or "identical"; and 点 (diǎn), meaning "point" or "dot". The concept builds sequentially, where 共同 first establishes the idea of "commonality" or "shared sameness", and then 点 is appended to specify this abstract commonality as a particular "point" or aspect. Thus, the entire compound visually and conceptually points to identifiable points of similarity, resulting in the meaning "common ground" or "similarities".
