viewpoint
UK: ˈvjuːpɔɪnt | US: ˈvjuːpɔɪnt
n. a particular way of considering or regarding something; an attitude or opinion
n. the position from which something is observed or considered; a vantage point
The word "viewpoint" combines "view," derived from Old French veue (meaning "sight" or "vision"), and "point," from Latin punctum (meaning "a small spot or location"). Together, they form a compound noun that literally means "a place or position from which one sees." Over time, it evolved metaphorically to signify a mental perspective or opinion, reflecting how one "sees" an issue conceptually.
